Yup, sorry about this one, Andi pointed this out earlier. But the "I" must still go I think, for the third reason in that changelog -- it unnecessarily limits the bit offset to 0..31, but (at least from the comment up front in that file) we do allow arbitrarily large @nr (upto 255, of course, these instructions won't take anything greater than that). > Andrew - the ones I've looked at were all wrong.

I think I'll rescind the series anyway, a lot of patches turned out to be wrong -- some due to mis-reading / incorrect gcc docs, others due to other reasons ... this was just something I did thinking of as a cleanup anyway, so I don't intend to push or correct this or anything.
