I am sorry but I do not really see these changes to be simplifying 
the iterator code enough to be worth touching the code. The iterator
code is really subtle and we have experienced some subtle bugs there.
I would be really reluctant to touch it unless the result is a clear
simplification or a bug fix. Please keep in mind that the review
overhead is far from negligible here.

Unless Johannes sees that as a clear improvement then I would suggest
dropping these patches from the akpm's tree.
