In order to have all flags fit on a 80 chars wide screen,

I don't love this, the output is less readable. Is fitting on an 80 char
screen a real issue for you? I just make my terminal window bigger.

I don't have strong opinion about that, and the terminal can be made bigger.
I just don't like how messy it is, some flags are so big that they hide other ones and getting it more ordered and more compact helped me during all the verifications I did with this series, but we can leave it as is if you prefer.

Would you like a v5 without patches 7 and 8 ? Or I can just resend the patches that will be impacted, that is 9 and 38 ?

Without the changes I get:

No cache is 'i'
User is 'ur' (Supervisor would be sr)
Shared (for 8xx) becomes 'sh' (it was 'user' when not shared but
that was ambiguous because that's not entirely right)
