Okay, my thought there was the intermediate cleanup commits aren't fixing any
obvious problems and so future us might be surprised by them being pulled into
stable. Squashing them into 9/9 would resolve that, but as you say it would take
us away from what's on master.

Would you like me to resend the whole series as-is to skiboot-stable@ ?
