Actually I was planning to write something once all the stuff is on the
place together with some numbers.  I hoped it to be right now, but the
intermodule patch is bringing more funn (it mess up the callgraph
completely as the invariant that function/variable can be uniquely
identified by DECL_ASSMEBLER_NAME is broken so compiler crash and
misscompile).

It will be bit tricky to fix this but I will try to have it by tomorrow.

Also the scores of preriodic testers has regressed.  I duno what caused
this as there are regressions in SPECFP f77 tests that should not be
influenced by my work at all.  So I guess it should be at least partly
caused by some other commit same day.  I don't have time to figure out
more this week unforutnately :(

The few C regressions are probably because inlining limits are very low.
Bumping them by 50% I got about 1% speedup on SPECs, but the picture is
slighly different now as Richard suggested to walk the trees with
duplicates when estimating body size.  I hope that we will be able to
make unit-at-a-time default at -O2 and then we can increase the limits
without getting into degenerative cases on POOMA
