This patch would not apply, because is contained changes
present in the first patch, specifically:

And now I see exactly what you did, and it is quite careless.

You wrote one big patch then tried to split it up by hand.  This
proves to me that you did not test the patches individually.  Even
worse, you did not even try to apply each patch nor compile the tree
each step along the way as a basic sanity check.

This wastes a lot of my time, as well as the time of other developers
who might want to try out and test your changes.

I will fix it up this time, but please do not ever do this again.
