Yeah that's an artifact of trying to make git produce readable
diffs. Since the lru functions are right next to the entry functions,
I went through several attempts where it wouldn't generate clean moves
but instead would interleave entry and lru functions line by line to
overwrite one with the other in place. I think the above helped in
making it not do that, although I'm not positive it would still be
required in the final form of this patch. It was kind of brute force.
