My feeling was just that:

1. We already have "optimized asm" for a few archs, and I didn't see a
   strong argument for removing it.

2. There's a chance to mess up odd arch-specific requirements,
   alignment, etc. in the new asm fragment unless it undergoes some
   careful review.

However I do also agree with you, and think simplicity/consistency
possibly override reason #1 above, and #2 could easily be handled if
some time is put into review and testing of the new code.

Anyone else have opinions on the matter?

Rich
