I know this was suggested by Colin, but it actually makes review harder,
because there's no code which would make use of the new functions and
thus there seems to be no reason for refactoring. Not to mention that
seeing real usage of a new function influences its design.

Although it surely makes sense do have the refactoring patches in the
beginning of the series rather than mixing them with the rest of the new
code.

I applied both this series and your former v4 series, rebased the v4 one
on top of this RFC and now I'm reviewing the result. So please, keep
sending just one series with all the patches.

During the review, I'm not going to repeat anything already mentioned by
Michal, unless I want to say something more about it.
