I think we're slightly closer to being same page, but I haven't
followed up here yet because I was waiting for something else first.

Your previous patchset left out a few implementations and wasn't
totally complete with regards to the glue code. I'm going to whip
something up now that is Zinc, but where there's already an existing
assembly implementation in the tree (i.e. Martin's code), it uses that
instead of what I've been posting until now. Then, after that lands, I
can post stand-alone patches for replacing the various
implementations, and we can discuss those separately, alongside all
the various discussion of verification and benchmarks and so forth.

So, I'll have something to examine somewhat soon. Working on it now.

Jason
