<id>urn:sha1:5b3f0b7f39bd67cc9182993c288f09f67a0890df</id>
<content type='text'>
The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure.  So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that).  This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.

<id>urn:sha1:a0c97814dfcb0debbde8be99539e3d5ca2334e54</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes the type signature of .make_new and .call object method
slots to use size_t for n_args and n_kw (was mp_uint_t.  Makes code more
efficient when mp_uint_t is larger than a machine word.  Doesn't affect
ports when size_t and mp_uint_t have the same size.

This simplifies the API for objects and reduces code size (by around 400
bytes on Thumb2, and around 2k on x86).  Performance impact was measured
with Pystone score, but change was barely noticeable.

<title>py: Add option to cache map lookup results in bytecode.</title>

<content type='text'>
This is a simple optimisation inspired by JITing technology: we cache in
the bytecode (using 1 byte) the offset of the last successful lookup in
a map. This allows us next time round to check in that location in the
hash table (mp_map_t) for the desired entry, and if it's there use that
entry straight away.  Otherwise fallback to a normal map lookup.

Works for LOAD_NAME, LOAD_GLOBAL, LOAD_ATTR and STORE_ATTR opcodes.

On a few tests it gives &gt;90% cache hit and greatly improves speed of
code.

Disabled by default.  Enabled for unix and stmhal ports.

Blanket wide to all .c and .h files.  Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.

Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
