Ok, modulo the minor things the plan is to take this through tip after
-rc2 releases in order to pick up the powerpc build fix and have a clean
base (-rc2) to base stuff on, at the same time.

Pls holler if something's still amiss.

Sathya,

if you want to prepare the Intel variant intel_cc_platform_has() ontop
of those and send it to me, that would be good because then I can
integrate it all in one branch which can be used to base future work
ontop.

Thx.
