I like the performance improvement of your patch, but I'm concerned
that it might be a bit too complicated to push outside of the merge
window.

So what I propose doing is this.  We'll take Jan's patches and after
testing, we'll push it to Linus.  Then for the the 3.17 merge window,
after we've had more opportunity for testing and for other folks to
review your changes, we can queue this patch (or its successor).

Does that seem like a good path forward?
