This patch should come before riskier patches introducing new instructions, to 
make eventual reverts and fixes easier.

The rule is generally: sort patches by risk, low risk first, high risk later. 
This 
means that cleanups, restructuring, refactoring patches always come first - 
beyond 
making bisection and reverts easier, those make subsequent patches cleaner as 
well 
and make any bugs in subsequent patches easier to see as well.

Thanks,
