It's better to have two patches, one a backportable one liner that fixes 
the bug, the other, on top, that cleans up the code but has no sematic 
changes.

This makes it substantially easier to review.  When considering the 
first patch you see the change plainly.  When reviewing the second patch 
you make sure no semantic changes were made at all.
