The "no code generation differnces" is a good thing, but how was that tested? I assume just one configuration or architecture?
Also, it bothers me a bit that some of the diff is unrelated whitespace cleanup. I'd actually be happier with a pure scripted patch (maybe coccinelle, maybe something else), than something that looks like it's at least partly manual. In particular, if I can re-create the diff with a script, I'd not have to worry about verifying it other ways..
