They are farily independent, but patch 3 needs to be applied before patch 2, the
order can be changed if needed.
Details and performance tests are mentioned in the change log of each patch.

A lot of two-digit improvements in throughput and runtime, that's great.

Btw, could you fold the following into patch 3?

It just silences a warning that one of the kernel test robots reported
last sunday:

https://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/kbuild-all@lists.01.org/thread/CRTG5J2M2D7Q7M5GPHXKHOKGKN3GSVWJ/

It doesn't change anything in terms of behaviour.

Thanks.
