4 patches is 3 patches too many for noise like this. Anyway, two of
the patches have the same local "swap" variable problem; the context
is "swap order" not "need swap".
FWIW, I am not a fan of changing the code for no actual gain - the
compiled code is identical, there are no stack savings, and now I
have to look at an extra file to work out what the code does. If
you're changing the code and this is prep work for a large series,
then by all means clean the code up. But otherwise, changes like
this just mean work that other developers have in progress need
rebasing....
Cheers,
Dave.
