Over patch 4; yes. Patches 1-3 generate different kernels, esp patch 2
has a large drop in size, 5 too is invariant. Patch 6 however increases
code size again, but then it actually changes the generated code so
that's somewhat expected.

But with patches 1-3 its all clear what changes and why; and having the
big scary conversion patch 4 invariant is good.
