Ok, what part in

"* first patch: sole code movement, no changes whatsoever"

wasn't clear?

You're adding those macros above to a patch which claims that it does
code movement only. Don't do that.

Let me try again:

* first patch: *ONLY* code movement. No new code, no new defines, no new
functions, no nada! Only move code and do fixups so that it still builds
like the export you're doing.

* follow-on patches: other changes.
