gcc (Debian 13.2.0-2) 13.2.0

I don't think there's anything particularly strange about my .config

If you compile this patch as-is, you'll get your preferred code.
Remove the #define DH and you get mine.

I would say that 176 bytes is 3 cachelines of I$, which isn't free,
even if all the insns in it can be executed while the CPU is waiting
for cache misses.  This ought to be a pretty tight loop anyway; we're
just filling in adjacent PTEs.  There may not be many spare cycles
for "free" uops to execute.
