Subject: Re: [patch 06/10] Immediate Value - i386 Optimization

What is not clear to me is the exact code that is generated by these
macros.  Nor can I find it anywhere in the documentation.

Could you please describe this in some detail?  In particular, it seems
that the uses of these are largely as branch targets, where the extra
indirection over modifying the jump target directly seems wasted.
