None of these fix anything, but do fiddle with code that's pretty
critical to the kernel. Most of the changes will be immeasurable in
change but carry risk to causing subtle changes.
Some are simple removal of returns that aren't used while others change
things because you think they are probably the equivalent. This seems
like unnecessary chrun at this point. I'm all for efficient code but
this is getting a bit much, some of these are just preference of what to
use that will already exist in the cpu cache.
I'll get back to you when I dig through them, as some need a deeper look
for sure.
