Avi, Thanks for reviewing. True, it is sort of equivalent to PLE on non 
PLE machine.

Ingo, Peter,
Can you please let us know if this series can be considered for next 
merge window?
OR do you still have some concerns that needs addressing.

I shall rebase patches to 3.3 and resend. (main difference would be 
UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK and jump label changes to use 
static_key_true/false() usage instead of static_branch.)

Thanks,
Raghu
