Glad you liked it, I had to do it for my own sanity :-)

And something that gave me mixed feelings was an e-mail from the kbuild
test bot that noticed my perf/core changes and said that the build was
broken for "make ARCH=x86_64", so I had to reinstate this part:

ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64)
ARCH := x86
endif

Because, as you say, 'make ARCH=x86' works :-\ I think it will not be
needed with your patch, right? I'm checking your patch below right now,
