This seems something that shoud (:-) be easy to verify; no reason to be
uncertain about this. Either it does or does not change generated code.

And that is _really_ unfortunate, as in 5 copies of exactly the same
logic sucks.

Can't we have a helper macro that converts an old (scalar) style compute
into a new style compute and avoid this unfortunate and error prone
copy/pasta ?

Something like:

#define RBCOMPUTE_SCALAR(_comp, _rb _exit)
({
	RBSTRUCT *node = rb_entry((_rb), RBSTRUCT, RBFIELD);
	RBTYPE augmented = _comp(node);
	bool ret = true;
	if (!((_exit) && node->RBAUGMENTED == augmented)) {
		node->RBAUGMENTED = augmented;
		ret = false;
	}
	ret;
})
