Well, with patchsets like that, it is always good to write a more
detailed changelog so that questions like that are answered from it.
Your 0/x message has
"- Refactor TSX code into new tsx.c"
but it would be a lot more helpful if it had the "why" you did it:
" - Carve out the TSX disabling functionality into a separate
compilation unit because it is a CPU feature."
This sentence could be a part of the patch commit message even.
This patchset has been going back'n'forth since May so people like me
forgetting things is kinda normal.
Thx.
