I gave this only a cursory read, but it addresses my concern from the
previous round.

If I were doing it myself, I probably would have folded patches 1 and 3
together. They are touching all the same spots, and it would be an error
for any case converted in patch 1 to not get converted in patch 3. I'm
assuming you caught them all due to Coccinelle, though IMHO it is
somewhat overkill here. By folding them together the compiler could tell
you which spots you missed.

And going forward, I doubt it is going to be a common error for people
to use maybe_tree directly. Between the name and the warning comment,
you'd have to really try to shoot yourself in the foot with it. The
primary concern was catching people using the existing "tree" name,
whose semantics changed.

All that said, I'm fine with having it done this way, too.
