Ah, cool.

I think if I were to revisit that port, I'd do it completely
differently anyway. I'd break out AH/AL etc as separate registers,
and use register pairs for HImode. That way, QImode operations can
use the AH etc registers too (if the base reg is HImode, it will only
use AL).

Hence the "I don't expect it to work with current sources" disclaimer.
