Thanks for a detailed and clear explanation here and in the cover
letter.  I agree with the motivation and most of the things I see in
this patch, but one thing that stands out at me is if we still want
to += append to SP_EXTRA_FLAGS in target specific way.  Before this
patch, because SPARSE_FLAGS was a dual use variable, it needed +=
appending to it in these two places, but that rationale is gone with
this patch.

Also, don't we want to clear SP_EXTRA_FLAGS at the beginning?

The reason I raise these is because I do not quite see a clear
answer to "I want to set SP_EXTRA_FLAGS and not SPARSE_FLAGS,
because ...".
