Nick, thanks a lot for your efforts to get the frame size usage down!

I've applied your patch series to the parisc for-next tree [1], so that it
gets some testing in the upstream for-next tree.
My tests so far are good, although I'm only using gcc-11.

If you don't mind, and if it doesn't generate issues for other
platforms & architectures I could submit them upstream to Linus when
I send the next pull request.

Helge
