Thanks for the review :).

You are right to be puzzled by this code.

This code is actually a copy of a function that, as luck has it,
you removed a while ago because it was no longer used.  It was
called something like generic_push_dummy_code. At the time,
I just copied the old function over.

In any case, I don't believe that I can have both direction on
powerpc-vxworks either, so I will clean it up.
