Unless the cleanups for a set of functions are all the same issue,
yes.  The idea is that commit description should apply to all of the
patch hunks in the commit.

That way if there is a problem, it becomes easier to bisect and then
determine what's going on by reading the commit description.  It also
becomes easier to review the changes, as well.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
