I guess this might be possible, though when moving groups of static
functions around that refer to each other it might be more trouble than
it is worth.

I'll need to discuss with James.

Either way, I think this patch will need to rebuilt when spinning v2 of
this series.  I've been rebasing it by hand, which is not exactly
foolproof!

It ought to be possible to break this up into one patch per affected .c
file at least, if people feel that it is worthwhile.

Cheers
