We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to be inlined. While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something different.

what's the state of these patches and getting them into powerpc-next? I'm looking at some runtime fix ups that I was thinking of basing on this code. - k
