Yes sorry, it was longer than expected!

The current status is that I can bootstrap llvm+clang with a compiler
which enables the Machine Outliner by default and pass the testsuite
without regression in ARM and Thumb2 modes.  I still need to add more
testcases, but I'll post the patches for review and add you as
reviewer, I just need to rebase my branch on master and do a bit of
clean-up before doing so.

Thanks for offering your help
Cheers,
Yvan
