I see that you've sent many Coccinelle patches to the mailing list. It
might be better to send them all together as a single threaded patchset
so that reviewers will have an easier time finding all of them.

FWIW, I had the same thought.

This script contained two transformation rules for the semantic patch language
which used duplicate code.
Thus combine these rules by using a SmPL disjunction for the replacement
of two identifiers.

My knowledge of coccinelle and cocci rules is basically zero, but my
impression from this list is that running "make coccicheck" can be
expensive, both in terms of time and memory. Do these patches help there
in any way? Or could they hurt?
