This bit is the bit I particularly dislike. 'type' is not fixed at compile
time, which means that the switch-statement cannot be optimised down. With
your original patch, for example, the following code seems to simplify quite
nicely from:
int test_kmap(struct page *page)
{
int *p, q;
p = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0);
q = *p;
kunmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0);
return q;
}
to:
int test_kmap(struct page *page)
{
int *p, q;
p = kmap_atomic(page);
q = *p;
kunmap_atomic(page);
return q;
}
but, the assembly goes from:

Your revised patch reduces the size of the overburden, but still has the
irritating jump table.

It does permit such.
