After you test it **THOUROUGHLY**, send a patch to Linus. I
recommend testing it in a user-mode program with all kinds of
sizes/shapes/lengths/offsets, etc., and making certain that you
don't destroy any registers that are "precious" for the
usual versions of gcc.

If your patch doesn't hurt anything, even if it only adds marginal
performance, I'm pretty sure that Linus will accept it.


Cheers,
Dick Johnson
