Porting strsep_unescaped should be one patch and the keytoc changes
should be one patch.

The diff gets quite hard to read, if you do such changes in between.
Please reduce the changes per patch to the bare minimum. Renaming could
be done later on in a separate patch.

Same here, why can't you keep the keycount and keylist handling
unchanged?

This would go into separate patch as well.
As said above, please split your patchset into multiple smaller patches
to make it easier to read.
