Something that can be done on top of this patch: what about moving the
"-1" to helper_ret_*? It is common to pretty much all the targets
(except ARM has -2), and it would allow some simplifications. For
example I played with return address helpers on 32-bit PPC, and you
could use a
li rN, retaddr
mtlr rN
b st_trampoline[i]
sequence instead of one of
li rN, retaddr
mtlr rN
bl st_trampoline[i]
b retaddr
or
li rN, retaddr
mtlr rN
addi rN, rN, -1
b st_trampoline[i]
