I am unable to review your patches! 1. I don't know what the patches do, because the commit messages/headers are really poor. 2. Patches are too big. 3. You are mixing logical changes into one patch. Like when you move code and change code in one patch. That's two different things and thus should be kept separate. Please go back and re-work this thoroughly before you decide to send a new version. Moreover I also think you need to read "Documentation/SubmittingPatches", that should give you some more hints on how to improve and help me as a maintainer.
