Paul, do you agree with those generic bitops changes? Just in case it's 
not obvious from previous discussions: we'll push them upstream via a 
separate pull request, not via usual x86.git changes. They originated 
from x86.git but grew into a more generic improvement for all. They sit 
in x86.git for tester convenience but are of course not pure x86 changes 
anymore.
