Now I think I'm missing something.  What new architecture method?  What 
mess?

	pre (I guess that value isn't void or NULL);
	struct value *foo (struct value *);
	post (VALUE_TYPE (foo (value)) == TYPE_CODE_FUNC
		|| VALUE_TYPE (foo (value)) == TYPE_CODE_METHOD));

it would be used in relative proximity to push_dummy_call and 
return_value (ex, replace find_function_addr).
