As you can see from the dates, this code was written over time, one top
of adding already existing code.

Merging patches randomly into giant jumbo patches will make it
completely impossible to bisect and debug in case one of these changes
breaks something in the parts of the code that was working prior to
introducing this set.

So no, this is not at all odd, it's perfectly normal for this type of
code.
