Is my inderstanding correct that this is a private, all new gcc
extension?  Do you have plans to submit it upstream?

I appreciate your work, and I, too, would like to be able to do what
this patch series seems to acchieve, but I think we should not add
this to mainline when neither mainline gcc nor any of the "common"
tool chains (say, OE/Yocto/LF, Linaro, CodeSourcery, ...) supports it.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
