I've committed 1-4 with minimal changes: refolding commit messages so
"git log" fits in 80 columns, fixing a typo in one of the messages,
and removing the line-break in the function args for
gnu_lookup_filtered (there were already well over 80 chars before the
break, and if it's going to be broken, spaces rather than tabs need to
be used for alignment).

Let's resume testing these when you next have time. The timing for the
umod stuff is still so unstable undef different -O and -mtune
combinations that I'm not sure what to think about which version is
best. But it looks like a clear win. I'll see if I can do some tests
on real arm hardware too, since I expect it to make a big difference
there.
