I don't think it is really huge:

And if I should split it in 14 patches, I'd prefer to drop it, it would consume too much time.
I've removed the change to acpi, since it was renaming an enum, and although it is safe for the
kernel (not exported in userspace), upstream might not like it if the header is shared with
some other library.
Now all the changes are in comments.
regards,
Benoit
