Best would be if you could provide a link to a git repository, so that we can 
review and perhaps pull this stuff from there. Is this possible?

Otherwise, please try to combine patches into logical chunks. And for pieces 
that are too big for the list (40k), please provide a URL (link) pointing to 
your patch instead.

Thanks.
