Comment (by simonmar):

 I think it's a good idea, and it's great that you're finding ways to
 squeeze the code size.  Keep at it! :)

 > jump (%ENTRY_CODE(info)) ()

 I think you'll want that to be

 {{{
   jump (%ENTRY_CODE(info)) (node)
 }}}

 One other thing you'll need to look at is reverting CAFs, which will need
 to put the `stg_CAF_info` back, rather than the saved info pointer.
