BTW, as I pointed, 5/7 and 6/7 should be merged since this actually
makes meaningful change.

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous reply in the (!) previous 
patch series.

Since this has to go through the powerpc tree, I followed this since I 
felt that Michael Ellerman prefers to keep functional changes separate 
from refactoring. I'm fine with either approach.

Michael?

Yeah I'd definitely like this to be two patches. Otherwise when reading
the combined diff it's much harder to see the change.

cheers
