Comment:
This is a first draft patch that revises the CALL_FUNCTION implementation.  The first part of the revision breaks the long inline implementation into a series of function calls.  Each of the function calls has some small local optimizations (e.g. PyMethod_GET_SELF instead of PyMethod_GetSelf).

One problem that needs to be figured out is how these functions can cleanly access the stack_pointer local var of eval_code2.  The current approach is a bit messy.

Comment:
A trivial fix to the logic keeps keyword arguments fast.

Comment:
The patch looks ok, but I'm still missing the cleanup of the
PyEval_CallXXX() APIs which the patch I sent you included.

Some cosmetic issues:
1. your new APIs should be static and start with an underscore
  (e.g. _Py_CallFunctions)
2. you should add some "register" markers to the function call
  definitions -- this helps compilers such as gcc when inlining functions
