Ok, so having tried to look through this series I do like it, but I'd
be *really* much happier if more of it was just verifiably a semantic
no-op.

There were all those small things in there (Peter pointed out those
cpumask things I wouldn't for the life of me have noticed) that were
really subtle, and were really hidden by the fact that there was just
a lot of non-semantic changes.
