I think this is a good idea, although I'd rather split the function at
a local boundary.  The patch below (which passes xfsqa) does that
by splitting out the handling of the most complicated nullfb case
out.  It probably won't help reducing stack useage as much as yours,
but it helps beeing able to read the code a little better.
