Ugh, I absolutely detesrt that patch.

Don't make random crazy function signatures that depend on some config
option. That's just evil. The patch is a mess of #ifdef's and should
be shot in the head and staked with a silver stake to make sure it
never re-appears.

Either:

(a) make the change for every architecture

(b) have side-by-side interfaces. With different names!

but not that disgusting "the calling conventions of these random
functions are different on different architectures and we use a config
flag to distinguish the cases".
