BTW, two other points need restating:

1) My macros handle the non-PIC case optimally.

2) Your RAS corruption cost considerations are only considering
   the most immediate effect on the return from the assembler
   routine in question.

   Whereas the true RAS miss cost must be multiplied onto the
   next N functions up in the call chain, where N is the size
   of the RAS.  Since all of those will miss as well.
