I like your suggestion, it is cleaner. Implemented and will upload new patch here. Will also update description in Phab and in git before I commit. Note that this is dependent on the gold threading patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D15390 (for the test case to work), so I will wait to commit this until after that goes in (hopefully very very soon! =) ).
