This patch is hard to review because it does so many different things
and they are all mixed up.  It looks ok, but it's hard to tell.  I know
it's a pain (I've done it many times) but can you split this up into
separate patches that each make one change?  The list you have below
tells me that 5 patches might be appropriate.

If I really had to a full review this myself I would break it into
multiple patches just to review it.  But that should really be your job.

Thanks,
