I asked for separate patches which do mechanical cleanup and
structural code changes. Just seperating intel.c and mpparse.c patches
from the others is _NOT_ what I asked for.

The include reordering, #ifdef annotation and random changes of white
space and comments have absolutely nothing to do with the structural
changes in the code.

So what we want is: 
   one patch doing mechanical cleanups
   patch(es) which change the code flow

   for the code flow changes we want one patch per modification: e.g:

   P1: simplify A
   P2: simplify B
   ...

That way the mechanical cleanups can be verified as zero changes and
the patches which change the code flow are small and can be reviewed
easily.

Thanks,
