No, none. The whole commit can be MFC'ed back to 7.x, actually, and I'd 
like to do that. I was hoping to convert sparc64 and ia64 as well and 
make a clean sweep of it, but at least sparc64 will require some work 
analogous to what I did for PPC.

Thanks for reminding me about the $publisher -- there's also some stray 
debugging code in the PPC one that crept in.
