I haven't had time to review the tail-end of this series yet,
I'm afraid, but these first 12 patches are clearly all OK, so
I'm going to put them into target-arm.next so that at least
that refactoring part is in master and won't go stale.

The last 7 patches are still on my todo list to review.

thanks
