I'm still thinking about this one.

The problem that I have with this patch is that I'm not convinced that
it's always desirable to combine the "use struct convention" code
with the code which implements the loading/storing of the return
value.

Due to the way the PPC ABIs are specified, I do happen to like this
approach for PPC.  However, I'm not convinced that this is the best
approach for all architectures.

So I'm still mulling it over...
