yes. The why for this patch set in particular is to make it easier to
apply the sentinel removal patches.

I think the difficulty for me comes from having two whys: 1. The one for
this patch set which is to make it easier to apply sentinel removal patches. And 2.
The one for the "big" patch (that actually removes the sentinels) which is to
reduce build time size and run time memory bloat.

Ack. For all these commits I'll try to weave in the two Whys to make the
review process a bit easier.
