It happens that I just returned from vacations so couldn't speak up
before now.
I do have issues with this new and improved unified assembly
crap^H^H^H^Hsyntax. And crappy features makes for crappy patches.
With some additional rounds of review and refinements we might possibly
make T2 support somewhat tolerable, but I don't think the latest T2
patch series is there yet. I'll provide relevant comments in the
existing threads.
