I really think at this point this is just doing extra
work shuffling code changes between patches for no real benefit.
The patches aren't super huge and they've already been
reviewed. I'm OK with splitting out the "add the status
argument" part as you suggested previously, as that
makes the patches more reasonably split between "just
mechanical" and "interesting change" which is not a big
split to do and could be helpful for potential bisection
later, but churning the patchset beyond that doesn't
seem worthwhile to me.
