I've rebased this patch series (excluded the last patch, n.5) against
latest master, and extended it somewhat (there are seven patches now).
I will soon post the amended patches in this same thread.

I will wait the customary 72 hours before pushing the series (i.e. until
wednesday evening).

Please note that the amended patch series is a prerequisite to the
"speed-up oriented" refactoring of the `instspc-*' tests (this is
also the reason I've left out the last of the older patches from
the rebasing: it's not needed right now).

Regards,
  Stefano
