Is it geared to solving something that happens on the Linux kernel
mailing list (seemngly) regularly--people having to split up their
changes into smaller pieces?

Would the following make sense?

 $ bzr branch --base my.dev at -1 # branch off second to last revision
 $ bzr merge my.dev # bring in changes in last revision
 $ bzr shelve --all # basically the same as undo?
 $ bzr unshelve # bring in some of the changes
 $ bzr commit --message 'Change 1'
 $ bzr unshelve # bring some more changes
 $ bzr commit --message 'Change 2'
 ... repeat ad nauseum ...
