Fix known bugs in the patch series, within the patch series, since it
hasn't been merged yet.

Don't say "I'll fix this bug later", because we can fix it now.

Also as others have noted, this patch set creates an intermediate
state where functionality is effectively broken.  So it is illogical
to knowingly merge this patch series as-is.  You'll have to piece
together all of the changes necessary such that the series is fully
bisectable, which means at every patch along the way things function
properly and do not break.

Thanks.
