As PR28690 is a regression, this is OK for mainline. I think its
reasonable to commit this patch on its own to see if it creates
problems (for example, HPPA is sensitive to REG_POINTER changes),
independently of the rest of your fix. I don't expect any problems
from the change itself, which makes sense, but from latent bugs
that may be exposed by the RTL differences.
Thanks for fixing this,
Roger
