No, that is not the usual rule.
Is it reasonable to address this second aspect (identifier size) of this
patch later, or should the patch be rejected until such time as that
second part is done? That is the choice.
There have been suggestions that it would be better/cleaner to make
decl nodes accessible from rtl, and associate the needed information
with decls, rather than identifiers. In that case, the question
becomes moot. I don't understand the issues well enough to comment.
In any case, if there is agreement that a target-specific identifier
hook makes sense, I can easily enough modify it after it is checked
in to fit in my framework.
