Thanks for taking a look anyhow.

Unfortunately this series was a lot of noise, but I didn't like to
merge those patches together, due to the many orthogonal changes between
the different CPUs.

Are you happy for these patches to appear in Will's pull request now?
I'm as confident as I can reasonably be that they don't break anything,
due to the policy of not changing the resulting .o files in any material
way.  I've also tested on a couple of real platforms (though by no
means the full set).

Cheers
