I could certainly split this into three parts.

But patches 0-8 aren't terribly meaningful outside of the context of patch 9.

And patch 9 by itself leaves the old infrastructure around which means that you 
would potentially need more patches like patch 9 in a future series.

So I don't think this series could really be trimmed by anything more than a 
couple patches and I don't see a huge advantage in doing that.

This sort of changes are the exception, not the common thing.  Once this series 
is merged, things will go back to normal patch series wise.
