My intention was to make the series easier to review. Patch 3
contained the initial set of callers mostly found via the Coccinelle
script (simpler to address generally), and patch 5 includes the rest.
Including all the changes plus the core API update in a single commit
felt like too much.

That said, I am happy to squash this for the next version (fewer
patches to track).
