I just compiled pre and post fb041b598997d63c0f7d7305dfae70046bf66fe1 with

clang version 11.0.0 (Fedora 11.0.0-0.2.rc1.fc33)

for aarch64 with defconfig and extracted import_iovec and
rw_copy_check_uvector (skipping the compat things)

I'm only able to spot minor differences ... less gets inlined than I
would have expected. But there are some smaller differences.

Maybe someone wants to have a look before we have object files as used
by Greg ...
