Maybe I said that your patch was too large. But then, I said something 
much more important: hard-to-review.

These small patches, split in a manner making it even more difficult to 
understand what you want to accomplish, do not help.

Yes, you should make small patches. Even small patch series. But in such a 
fashion that a reviewer can see that it is a good patch[*1*]. Just lean 
back, look at your patches, and ask yourself how you would have reacted if 
you had reviewed them.

*1* A good patch follows the immortal words of Saint Exupery: A designer 
knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, 
but when there is nothing left to take away.
