I assume I could do that (at least some of them). 
Luckily, covid-19 generates some spare time here, since I was directed to stay 
at home from work :-) 
(No personal covid-19 infection here, though. All in family are fine.)

I wonder if we would want to apply all those changes in one os-prober version
or split that into some parts (to ease debugging, if problems appear)...

I played around with that patches a bit, and 8 of them no longer apply
cleanly (maybe they are somewhat old, and code has changed in the meantime).

Moreover, there are 4 patches which conflict with others.

So, if I leave those 12 patches out for now, that would give 15 patches,
which could be cleanly applied.
Would that be a reasonable plan for the first round?

Is some sort of review wanted before commit?
