I believe the appropriate next step is to freshen these patches against mainline, and re-bootstrap and regression test them. Not only do the patches you cite date back to last May, but they haven't been revised to reflect the reviewer comments they recieved. For example, Joseph Myers pointed out they contained the wrong FSF address. I might also be getting confused, but I also remember that supporting patches were committed to the tree, to address some of the performance issues with these patches, so benchmarking should look better now. I foresee no problems in getting the fwprop pass merged into mainline this week. One detail I would like resolved however, is if you and Steven Bosscher could confirm you're both co-ordinating your efforts. Presumably, adding fwprop is part of the agreed upon game-plan, and not something that will complicate Steven's CSE efforts. Roger --
