For trivial at least, please split the patches. It makes it easy for
me and/or Linus to accept only one.
Also, please mention clearly if you obsolete a previous trivial patch...

Like code, descriptions develop scar tissue when you do the "minimally
invasive" change. Consider this classic trap-for-skimmers from the
glibc "snprintf" man page, and learn:
Return value
These functions return the number of characters printed
(not including the trailing `\0' used to end output to
strings). snprintf and vsnprintf do not write more than
size bytes (including the trailing '\0'), and return -1 if
the output was truncated due to this limit. (Thus until
glibc 2.0.6. Since glibc 2.1 these functions follow the
C99 standard and return the number of characters (exclud
ing the trailing '\0') which would have been written to
the final string if enough space had been available.)
