And breaks at least one of my configs (the g5 one) with a relocation
problem in head_64.o (which is why I had modified the original patch to
be less aggressive iirc).

We end up moving things too far away from a conditional branch, I
think the masked_*interrupt stuff. We need to shuffle things a bit
more to get that to work.

Cheers,
Ben.
