Ok, can you make the whole patch series available so I can poke at the
implementation a bit?  Please state the revision it was rebased on
(or point me to a git/svn branch the work resides on).

I thought more about this and don't think it can be made work without a lot of
hassle.  Instead to get rid of the remaining "badly" typed registers in the
function we can key different type requirements on a pass property
(PROP_promoted_regs), thus simply change the expectation of the
types of function parameters / results according to their promotion.

The promotion pass would set PROP_promoted_regs then.

I will look over the patch(es) this week but as said I'd like to play with
some code examples myself and thus like to have the current patchset
in a more easily accessible form (and sure to apply to some rev.).

Thanks,
Richard.
