Reviewing the delta between of my .cocci rules and your v5, everything
matches, except for get_random_int() conversions for files not in
your tree:

So, I guess I mean to say that "prandom: remove unused functions" is
going to cause some pain. :) Perhaps don't push that to -next, and do a
final pass next merge window to catch any new stuff, and then send those
updates and the removal before -rc1 closes?
