I understand a large patch is harder to audit than small incremental changes, 
but the patch was the result of a code rewrite, where I attempted to summarize 
the changes in large in the bulleted list. There isn't a one-to-one 
correspondence between a bullet and a change in the code. Breaking the rewrite 
into small pieces would not only be quite hard but to some extent even more 
confusing to audit since you risk to see the leaves instead of the tree.

Good point. (The functions were a remnant from previous work-in-progress where 
they were used in common from process/softirq code, and used different lock 
calls depending on the context of the call).
