Each conversion (i.e. I tried the one from patch #1) seems to add
an extra 24 bytes to the resulting code size (using gcc 4.8.4 for
ARM32 cross-compilation) so I don't see much point in the automatic
conversions. Only instances containing size calculations with
real possibility for integer overflows should be converted and
the patchset under discussion contains no such instances.
