Your patch header describes what used to happen. What does the patched
code do?

Also, several of your patches move large functions around within the
file. That makes it really hard to figure out what the actual code
changes are. Please split changes like that in two: One patch that moves
stuff around in bulk without any functional changes and a second that
addresses the issue at hand. That makes reviewing much easier.
