I took the "trivially obvious" parts of this patch series - the ones that were basically trivial one-liner cleanups (in addition to the first patch that was needed for them, of course). Anything that renamed files and did other infrastructure things (x86) or that had vmlinux.lds.S files that didn't match the nice pattern I'd much rather take as series of patches that first clean up the infrastructure and then do the replacement.
