... does too many unrelated things in a single patch. I am not
comfortable taking large amounts of refactoring mixed in with Kconfig
and #ifdef changes. Can you please separate the steps you list below
into multiple patches and describe each one? I think you are doing many
trivial things, but it's difficult to separate the noise out from the
substantial changes.

Or, you can wait even longer until I have more time to kill :)
