This specific patch is not difficult to split into two. I can do that
and send out minus the first 8 trivial patches - but not familiar with
how to do "here's part 1 of the patches" and "here's patchset two".
There's dependency between them so not clear how patchwork and
reviewers would deal with it. Thoughts?

Note: The code machinery is really repeatable; for example if you look
at the tables control you will see very similar patterns to actions
etc. i.e spending time to review one will make it easy for the rest.
