I've talked with a number of people about this as well, and I think that
I understand the objections. I'm happy that ARM followed through with
the alternate set of patches. Regardless, however, unless those who had
wished to object still wish to object, and then actually do so, we now
clearly have a good collection of contributors actively desiring to do
code review, and we should move forward (i.e., start committing patches
once they're judged ready). 



Let's start by closing the three flying revisions, so that people that
weren't involved in the discussion don't waste time looking at them.

See the reply I just posted to Hal.  I am not sure we've made a decision
to abandon the current patches.  We may in fact decide that, but I
haven't seen consensus for doing so yet.  In fact I've seen the opposite
-- that people want to move forward with the scalable types.

I agree with David. We should move forward with native support for
scalable types.

NEC SX-Aurora will also be using scalable types when they become available.
