It seems now that the generalization is very well accepted so far,
apart from some apparent issues on arm. Also, merging 2 + 3 and
putting them first seems to be acceptable, so we could do that for
v3, if there are no objections.

Of course, we first need to address the few remaining issues for
arm(32?), which do look quite confusing to me so far. BTW, sorry for
the compile error with patch 3, I guess we did the cross-compile only
for 1 + 2 applied, to see the bloat-o-meter changes. But I guess
patch 3 already proved its usefulness by that :-)

Umm, replace "arm" with "power", sorry. No issues on arm so far, but
also no ack I think.

Thanks to Christophe for the power change, and to Mike for volunteering
for some cross compilation and cross-arch testing. Will send v3 with
merged and re-ordered patches after some more testing.
