This comment is obviously outdated, just like in the old code path.

--verbose please. The description is pretty clear on what this patch  
does and why.

RFI was committed in r955, so can be used here.

It doesn't make sense to me to #ifdef out code without providing the  
equivalent code path for ppc64, so this new code path does belong here  
(remember you agreed that having two parallel code paths was  
supposedly the only way for migration?).

If you're referring to the suggested use of a .macro, please discuss  
this with Blue in general and not some hundred lines down a patch  
without referring to the commit message where this is discussed. Blue  
has been asking me to turn preprocessor macros into C inline functions  
- this construct here seems the closest equivalent in assembler code  
and the advantages I see are detailed in the commit message. You have  
not yet voiced any particular reason to make this a preprocessor  
macro, other than your personal preference for preprocessor macros,  
which appears to conflict with Blue's dislike of preprocessor macros  
and my dislike of unnecessary multi-line preprocessor macros.
