Note that I think the whole series is more robust if it goes to -stable as-is, as 
the ABI aspect should not be underestimated either. Nevertheless I've backmerged 
the fix further to the original commit, to maintain bisectability.

Indeed - and I fixed that too. I have pushed out the latest tip:WIP.x86/fpu - no 
change in the end result tree, but different inner structure.
