Agreed - it's not clear whether any of the proposed changes would actually
help the original issue. My patch absolutely does.

The gain from -fcode-hoisting is about 0.2% overall on Thumb-2. Ie. it's definitely
useful, but there are much larger gains to be had from other tweaks [1]. So we can
live without it until a better solution is found.
