Is that patch available (thru git or svn) on some branch?
I did not found any *jit* branch on svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches

Do you believe it will get into GCC 6 (probably yes)?

Do you believe it would get into GCC 5.2 (unfortunately, perhaps no)?

Do you think it could easily be backported into GCC 5.x ?

Cheers!
