Sure, if you don't like it, don't take it. All the patches in the 
"series" should stand on their own, with the exception of the last one 
(clearly labelled as "part 2" of the penultimate patch).

Hopefully, it should be trivial to establish the correctness of the 
patches 1 and 2 :-). But they are only cleanup attempts. The patch I 
really care about is the one I sent independently, "ARM: unexport 
symbols used to implement floating point emulation".

Regards
Alan
