I'm going to put a hack patch in, similar to your's, so people can get
work done.  We can try to cure this situation more cleanly later.

    sparc64: Work around branch tracer warning.
    
    As reported by Sam Ravnborg, Gcc-3.4.5 does not handle:
    
    	if (get_user() || get_user())
    
    with the new branch tracer enabled.
    
    Just seperate it out into seperate statements for now
    so people can get work done.

Can you think of any way we could improve the branch-tracer 
instrumentation define in any way to prevent such trouble?

Steven was looking into this but every variant of the if() macro he
tried wasn't able to eliminate all of the problems.  We've been
discussing this with him in another thread for several days.  The
S390 folks are running into these kinds of problems too.

It's basically an issue of how deeply older GCCs will search
into the control flow of a very complex conditional.  There
really isn't anything we can do about that.
