Yeah, that patch looks uglier than what I would have hoped for, but a
number of the conversions really look like they then would get a lot
cleaner if the IS_ENABLED() was part of the code flow, rather than
have those ugly (and now arguably even uglier) #ifdef's inside code.

And I think the mechanical conversion is the right thing to do, with
any cleanup being separate.

I'll look at this again when I have all my pulls done.
