You're already too late for most of this. The merge window will
open in the forseeable future and you don't have had significant
-mm* or x86_64-* testing yet and in general stuff is still
very fresh.
Maybe we can get some basic "obvious" stuff like a few
macro substitutions in (if you submit them properly), but probably not
the full support.
