I'm sorry that you are getting conflicting directions from Linus
and me. We can use the approach you suggest here this time,
but I'd prefer if we can all agree on how to do this in the
future.

Linus: What is the reason you want to see the commits split up
like this? We normally try to split up changes into small
atomic improvements, but splitting them even further seems
counterproductive, and loses the context information in the
changeset description.
