Just checked on my OpenBlocks AX3 (dual-core ARMv7 in thumbs mode),
everything seems OK, I did not even notice any performance regression
compared to 3.10.5 on syscall intensive workloads with the recent
changes. I'm sure that I'm using the kuser helpers page since the
system doesn't boot without. Also I did observe minor changes in
/proc/self/maps, but I don't think they should have any impact, so
all in all it's OK :
