I'll send the patches (as a reply to this mail) piece by piece out
when I figure out the maintainers to Cc for each.

I have not poked on all subsystems (it is quite a lot), but I can
already give a glimpse (`ls -1`) of who gets one and who does not.
And, I am not completely finished changing some subsystems - but
the patches are already big enough for a first wave. I want to get
some feedback first. Thanks!
I haven't watched your videos yet but I tried one of the patches
- with make xconfig: OK
- with make gconfig: OK
- with make menuconfig: less so, because:
When one switches a menuconfig _on_, one might miss that there are
subsequent options to configure. (Although the availability of further
options is indicated by the '--->' suffix to the menu title.)
