See below, which was sitting in my working tree.

Conflicts with later topics is indeed worrysome.  That is why I did
it as an experiment.  If it becomes too painful, I'd probably stop
doing it while merging to anything other than 'pu', and then we can
follow the more distributed approach along the lines of what Szeder
suggested, to see how smoothly it goes.

Subject: [PATCH] cocci: simplify "if (++u > 1)" to "if (u++)"

It is more common to use post-increment than pre-increment when the
side effect is the primary thing we want in our code and in C in
general (unlike C++).

Initializing a variable to 0, incrementing it every time we do
something, and checking if we have already done that thing to guard
the code to do that thing, is easier to understand when written

	if (u++)
		; /* we've done that! */
	else
		do_it(); /* just once. */

but if you try to use pre-increment, you end up with a less natural
looking

	if (++u > 1)
