All the patches in this series appear to be white space damaged and
cannot be applied.

Most of the patches are lacking proper commit messages, and the bug
fixes should be clearly marked as such with a Fixes tag and CC-stable
tag where appropriate.

Also don't mix fixes with cleanups and refactoring unless the former
really depends on the latter.

At least move the independent fixes to the front of the series.
