Yes, we wanted to keep the reply threading cleaner and the individual
patches short. With a patch set that avoids introducing functions
without callers, each patch would have grown substantially. But I know
that's unusual to do it that way.

Ok, I see. For now, I think it's probably easiest to pull the patches
from here, and then look at the resulting files directly:


https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/log/?h=kdbus

Other than that, please give us some time to respond to your longer
reply. Thanks for taking the time to write this up!
