Hi,
I reviewed this patch.
I think it looks OK, but I wish that there was a better way to review it.

I'm not asking you to redo the patch, but I think that it would have been easier
to review 2 patches: one that contains trivial changes[1] and one that requires
thinking to review it -- where the trivial changes are not getting in the way
of looking at the non-trivial changes.

[1] the trivial set of changes, taken from your patch description:

OK, that's everything except for this:
