Actually, now is the right time to do such changes as we've just 
pushed all pending x86 changes upstream. And since these changes 
reduce the chance of future patch conflicts, they do help 
development. (in a small way)

Nevertheless i'd suggest to make this a single commit, to not 
clobber the shortlog with it.
