It seems in this case massive cleanup before fixies leads to much bigger mess.
I've separated fixes specially for merging into stable kernels.
The rest patches mostly rewrites this code using new approatch.
I don't know how to make it more reviewable, it's easier to write a
new version from the scratch.
Probably rework should be untied form fixes and sent as separate patchset.
