What you did is fine - first step is to move the variants as close to 
each other as possible, in an as obvious and mechanic step as possible.

If anything breaks due to your patches then they were probably too 
large, but lets be optimistic and try your current splitup first :)

Then we can start eliminating any leftover #ifdefs, step by step. Please 
send very, very small patches for that (put them into a git tree on 
kernel.org if there's more than say a dozen of them), we'll test them, 
and if the changes break anything it's all bisectable to an individual 
change.
