This is much simpler to read and review. Just have a look at the
diffstats of the two series:
6 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
6 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
5 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
6 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-)
1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
versus
6 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
6 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)
5 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
6 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)
1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
The overall result is basically the same, but it's way simpler to look
at obvious and well done patches than checking whether a subtle copy
and paste bug happened in 3/5 of the first version. Copy and paste is
the #1 cause for subtle bugs. :)
I'm waiting for the ack of Xen folks before taking it into tip.
Thanks for following up!
