Oh, I see you sent a patch to the list but didn't cc me like in this thread.

Hmm. Al - I'd like to add the "const" parts at least. How the ordering
gets fixed (I changed it in the users of the macro, Michael changed
the macro itself) I don't much care about.

Can you get me a pull request soon since this presumably also breaks
every other compat case, and it just happened that power was the one
that noticed it first.. Or I can just commit my version, but I guess
Michael's is at least tested..
