 I disagree. The entire patch does a single change to a single file
almost mechanically. It's true that there is a risk of conflicts, but
splitting up the patch doesn't reduce that risk. It's easy enough to try
to apply and ask for a refresh if there is a conflict.

 Of course, currently it doesn't apply cleanly anymore because you
delayed applying it, so I also can't re-Ack it. So Fabio, can you refresh?

 Regards,
 Arnout
