So, a question about that - there indeed seems to be an inflation of
likely/unlikely in the ccree driver, but
what stopped me from removing them was that I found out I don't have a
clue about when it's a good idea
to use them and when it isn't (obviously in places where you know the
probable code flow of course).

Any hints?
