Done, retested with bootstrap/regression on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,
and committed as r198934.

Steven - I was looking at rtl_verify_flow_info_1 last night and have
some ideas about how to refactor it a bit. I will try to send a patch
for that in the next day since I will be adding to that verification
code with my other function splitting patches and it would be good to
get that refactored first.

Thanks,
Teresa
