I remember seeing these on the list before -- in June'17:
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-06/msg04596.html

FWIW with these 20 patches we no longer get a code reduction:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
6850654 2144032 4420896 13415582         ccb49e alpha-softmmu/qemu-system-alpha 
(before)
6874086 2144032 4437248 13455366         cd5006 alpha-softmmu/qemu-system-alpha 
(after)

but we've got to keep in mind that the patches aren't exactly the same.
