I can post the 3 cleanup patches separately from the one that switches
to using per-VMA locks if that's preferable. One downside: I'll have
to wait until the cleanups are picked up before posting the last
patch, as it depends on these cleanups. Please let me know if I should
split them anyway; otherwise, will keep v3 as a single patchset.
