I would be willing to give it a try, and possibly back the change out
if we end up finding some compelling reasons to do so.

You are probably correct. This means I would have to review all uses
of TYPE_CODE_INT in tdep files. There are not that many as far as I
can tell. I think I can review some of them, but many architectures
are alien to me (arm, h8300, m32c, m88k, mn10300, s390).
