One thing I've noticed is that two of your changes have #ifdefs to
turn them off again.  Do you think these are likely to be necessary?
It seems to me that if the changes are likely to have an adverse
effect on some systems, we should either detect those systems at
run-time, or not apply the changes at all.  Having random undocumented
#ifdefs all over the place (without even a defopt, usually) is one of
the things that makes modifying the arm32 sources painful.

Out of curiosity (I've not looked at the code) is there a good reason
for not using memcpy() here?
