The whole series looks good to me. Ack.

I'd be willing to just merge this now, if that helps. The conversion
is mechanical, and my only slight worry would be that at least for my
original patch I didn't build-test the (few) non-x86
architecture-specific cases. But I did end up looking at them fairly
closely (basically using some grep/sed scripts to see that the
conversions I did matched the same patterns). And your changes look
like obvious improvements too where any mistake would have been caught
by the compiler.
So I'm not all that worried from a functionality standpoint, and if
this will help the next merge window, I'll happily pull now.
