Ok, I think this patch is probably the right thing to do at this stage
- and we should think about trying to see if we can improve code
generation later.

So: "Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>"

Ingo/Thomas/Peter - I can take this either from the x86 tree, or
directly. Just let me know. Or do you have any alternate suggestions
that would be appropriate?
