Yazen,

Those three patches could be merged ... but they already seem big:

0002: 3 files changed, 158 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)
0003: 3 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
0004: 3 files changed, 100 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-)

Lumping them together wouldn't be the sum of those but would be worse (IMHO)
