Hi,

I ended up redoing it. The first patch has no influence on the generated
code; the second one does not change code size and the others are more
or less single logical changes.

I sent the patches as a reply to the original patch (replying to this one
would have been more logical... I need some sleep now). I tested compilation
and using qemu after patch 1, 2, and 7. They all run fine.

Greetings,
Alexander
