This kind of dependencies are built in the the name patch 1/2 and 2/2.
We don't want this kind of meta commentary in the permanent changelog.
If it were needed then it would go under the --- cut off line.

And anyway, fold patch 1 & 2 together into one patch. Do "one thing"
per patch instead of half a thing per patch.

Is this related to endianness?

Why do we need this? Also the spacing is wrong.

Use cpu_to_le16() no underscore versions everywhere. The other is for
code which is shared with usespace.
