Much better!

Except that someone glancing at this patch would be hard pressed to
see what changed.

So could you please split this into two patches, the first of which
does nothing but move code, and the second of which makes the actual
change?

The commit log for the first patch needs to clearly state that the
it is code-motion-only, with no change in behavior.

							Thanx, Paul
