Sure, but we don't add code just for fun, so unless there's a good reason to add the feature - like better performance - we won't bother. > And this feature has been merged to the kernel for X86 for a long time. > See commit: 5ca72c4f7c412c2002363218901eba5516c476b1 > 51906e779f2b13b38f8153774c4c7163d412ffd9 That commit was merged in 3.9-rc1, ie. a few days ago, so no it has not been in x86 for a long time. That code removes the need for your first patch, which is a good start.
