I had a feeling that the sentiment of the suggestion I was trying to get at didn't come across, thanks for pointing it out. I was intending to suggest not using sentences like this > This change refactors that code into a new function, which is > called now in each of those functions.

FTR I find the English bits of kernel dev (and programming in general) the most difficult even though English is my first language. I would like to write it better. Hope this helps, Tobin.
