Sorry to be a pain but I think this series suffers from the opposite problem to the previous version - it's only a partial move of some of the code. I'd much rather review a series which does the complete refactor of the existing code into separate modules without making any functional changes. I'll let others give their opinions as well, I'm happy to review this one if we do want to look at this piecemeal. -- Paul Barker Konsulko Group
