Perhaps you should break this large patch
into multiple separate patches.

Agreed, this patch is way too large especially for what is obviously
turning out to be a very non-trivial transformation in some cases
and also new patch submitters should generally avoid large patches
like this.

Acked! Will try to separate out trivial & non-trivial changes.
Although, still trivial changes would be big enough. And at the same
time, splitting changes into 118 patches might turn out to be
cumbersome for review.

We didn't say to create 118 patches, we're talking about on the
order of 4 or 5 patches.

Certainly! Would resubmit the patch splitting across couple of them. Thanks!
