It seems like arm really wants this optimized to the last cycle
and no abstraction inbetween so we're probably stuck with the status
quo.   I'm pretty sure this will get too messy sooner and later and
people will clean the mess up, but due to the political issues I
don't think it's fair to put that burden on you just for submitting
the powerpc implementation.

So, please leave the patch as-is.
