I agree with most of the changes (and I say "most" simply because I
haven't reviewed all of them), but it would be better to coalesce these
100+ patches into much smaller patch clumps.

"split your patches up" mantra can get taken too far. We want -logical
changes- separated out, and your patches are largely a single logical
change (remove old code).
