BTW, this instruction is kinda exotic and the docs aren't super clear, so
it'd be good to test manually that it really does what we want, for
negative numbers and numbers close to the ends of the value range; I
didn't do that manually yet.

I prefer just sticking to sxtw + lsl then. When we move to ptrdiff_t
the sxtw will be gone anyway.

This sounds like a very reasonable choice indeed, especially if it's somewhat plausible that we'll get rid of it at some point in the future.

From my earlier testing on A53, it seemed (surprisingly) to be equally
fast to accumulate into the same register for both instructions - but I
only tested that on A53. So we could change that here, getting rid of the
add at the end (and one movi). Or if it does help on some other core,
perhaps we should do the same for the function above too?

Indeed, it is equally fast to accumulate into the same register on the
A55 and A76 as well.

New patches attached (patch 3/7 has functional changes, but patch 4/7
only changes the commit message to reflect the new test run).

LGTM very much now, thanks! And thanks for your patience through all the iterations on such trivial patches as these.
