Ouch.

I'm not an expert in x86 assembly. Could someone please check the
generated code to see what's going on? The C code changes are not that
intricate, they basically unroll a loop, replacing accesses to
'array[indirect_index[i]]' with 'array[constant]'.

As mentioned in the commit log, the speedup is more than significant
for architectures with lots of GPRs so I'd prefer fixing the patch
over reverting it (if there is anything wrong with the code in the
first place)
