You're right. The patch is quite difficult in the state it is now.

The problem essentially is that these are two commits in the hostboot
repository which were commited by somebody else much earlier and to maintain
consistency I didn't split the commit.

The reason for squashing these commits is that the second commit changed the
abstractions that were established by the first commit which made it even more
difficult to comprehend what was going on.

I would be happy to split this if it helps in reviewing. Also if you have any
other suggestion of how I can front this patch better, I'd be glad.

Thanks!
