I've already answered that extensively elsewhere.

Look, I really personally don't care about i386 and whether this RFC
gets applied to target-i386 or not. This is an example, because the
changes that I *do* care about have already been folded into my branch,
with the help of my TCGv series now posted for others' benefit.

Please read the other thread for details of what it does and doesn't do.
