Signed overflow patches OK for 4.2?

I'd like to backport the set of signed overflow patches for 4.2, now
that they are (almost) all in mainline.  These are the patches which
add -fstrict-overflow and -Wstrict-overflow.  It was the additional
reliance of strict signed overflow in 4.2 which led to a long
discussion a couple of months ago.

This would be a new feature for 4.2, of course.  Is it OK to do the
backport?

Thanks.

Ian
