Agreed.  But I would not push these patches without having tried them 
out on a prototype of a full conversion (i.e. with the load/store 
helpers converted, for which Blue Swirl said he has patches, and with 
the environment not pinned to AREG0 in TCG code).

So I hoped that he did have such a prototype, or alternatively that he 
benchmarked them and showed only minor degradations.
