This is the change already it's own patch - #1/7. Can't really split 
that one up any further. Changing the internal GuC code requires 
changing the external common code to match.

These two being the changes in this patch - #2/7, yes?

The problem is that the reference counting fixes can only be done once 
the code has been refactored/reordered. And the refactor/reorder can 
only be done if the reference counting is fixed. I guess there would be 
some way to do the re-order first but it would require making even more 
of a mess of the spinlock activity to keep it all correct around that 
intermediate stage. So I don't think it would noticeably simplify the patch.

I'm not seeing 'two logical changes' in the first patch. Patch #1 fixes 
the reference counting of finding the hung request. That involves adding 
a reference count internally within the spinlock on the GuC side and 
moving the external reference count to within the spinlock on the 
execlist side and then doing a put in all cases. That really is a single 
change. It can't be split without either a) introducing a get/put 
mis-match bug or b) making the code really ugly as an intermediate 
(while still leaving one or other side broken).
