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 think what I posted is reasonably solid, I've added some more  
routines
for the stuff I'm working on. I'll repost today or tommorrow.

I'm looking at some runtime fix ups that I was thinking of basing on
this code.

What have you got in mind? I'm working on some runtime fixups too :)

I want to be able to run time fix up lwsync an remove it as compile  
time thing.
