If I understand the patch correctly, this patch alone is no change,
since no sync_args bits are ever set.
Which means that

Might ought to be better written as
if (IS_DEAD_ARG(i)) {
...
} else if (NEED_SYNC_ARG(i)) {
...
}
as temp_dead implies sync from patches 2 and 3. This pattern is also
replicated 3-4 times. Subroutine?
