The problem I'm trying to solve with that is that there's only one
segment register (ES) so you only need to force an operand non-far if
*both* operands are far.  Not sure if the function is implemented that
way, but I coded the expanders that way.

"should" he says ;-)

Perhaps.  Old code, I'd have to compare with the two hardware
multipliers (and/or contemplate a libgcc implementation) to see.

The pattern *does* accept immediates as-is.  Not sure why that extra
check is in there, though...  might be that parts of gcc call
gen_addsi3() without checking the predicates first.  I've seen it do
that for moves.

There's probably a lot of SImode ops I haven't implemented yet.
addsi3 was a huge chunk of time in coremark, so it got attention
sooner.

Yup.

Yes, it's just like alloca() - it detects a stack shrink in the next
call to the library function and frees up any stubs that are "off the
stack".  The call in the epilogue is to increase the odds of properly
detecting such a case, since we know at that point it's out of scope.

No, that's a status indicator for debugging that it hasn't matched
*yet*.  Probably should get renamed to be more obvious what it's for
though ;-)

I suspect I do, but I don't know how to do that yet.

Thanks!
