In general I'm fine with this approach.

With the concerns raised for one of the other patches I wanted to wait
for V2 of the series. Or won't the resulting change require a
modification of this patch?

It would be nice if you could point out in the commit message whether
you are doing code movement (with some renames) only, or if there are
any functional changes involved (and which ones). This would make the
review much easier and less time consuming.
