So these patches are certainly to be squashed. There are other patches
titled "fixes" or "refactoring", which should also be squashed. I expect
squashing them will reduce the number of patches (and code to review)
drastically.
I've just resubmitted the patch set after squashing most of the commits into the original one. (and rebasing on latest upstream) Squashing is easy, pulling the individual changes back out is hard, so I figured I'd rather send it as too many patches first time around in case anyone wanted to see the individual changes I made.
Thanks for taking a look!
