Sorry for the late reaction, this now conflicts with bf36267e3ad3df8

I was gonna hand edit but perhaps we can do better with the ifdef
formation.

Instead of 

#ifdef v6
	if (v6) {
		expensive_call6();
	} else    //  d k
#endif            //  o i
	{         //  o e
		expensive_call4();
	}

Can we go with:

#ifdef v6
	if (v6)
		expensive_call6();
	else 
#endif
		expensive_call4();

or

	if (v4) {
		expensive_call4();
#ifdef v6
	} else {
		expensive_call6();
#endif
	}

or

	if (v6) {
#ifdef v6
		expensive_call6();
#endif
	} else {
		expensive_call6();
	}


I know you're just going with the most obviously correct / smallest diff
way, but the broken up else bracket gives me flashbacks of looking at
vendor code :S
