Breaking up the patch in any meaningful way would require
scaffolding code that is as extensive and invasive as the
final change. I can do that if you really need it, but it
won't be any easier to read.

Will fix.

Will fix.

Can you give an example? There are multiple comment styles
used in the various components.

I don't see any comments on the ima code changes. I really
don't want to spin a new patch set that does nothing but change
two periods in comments only to find out two months from now
that the code changes are completely borked. I really don't
want to go through the process of breaking up the patch that has
been widely Acked if there's no reason to expect it would require
significant work otherwise.
