How can anyone review this?

If you need to refactor the code in preparation for a feature, you can
do in in a separate patchset sent before the feature appears. This
patch should be split into X patches. One logical change per patch.

If these changes are moved into a separate patchset.  How can someone
understand and review them without knowing where they get reused.

Describe it then. No problem.

Ok will provide detail description in commit message.
