> It is split into 6 new CVEs covering 6 files of the 35

The CVEs are about vulnerability fixes, and don't necessarily capture
all of the information that would be used in integrating the patches
into one's own kernel build tree. For example, a file can be changed
in order to be compatible with a vulnerability fix that affects
interaction between functions, or a file can be changed so that its
code executes faster after a vulnerability fix.
