That's a good suggestion! All patches in this version are ordered by the
time they were created ans since none of these patches should be
worthwhile to backport (IMO) and because majority of patches do minor
changes, it appeared to me that it should be okay as-is.

I agree that it should be worthwhile to reorder the patches now, after
the series grew up a tad in regards to amount of patches. I'll change
the order in the next version, thanks!
