I think we should just aim for this being in 4.12. I don't see any
real reason to delay merging it, the main question in my mind is which
tree it would go through. A separate x86 -tip branch, or Andrew's mm
tree or me just pulling directly, or what?

I basically think it's in good enough shape that future work might as
well be based on this being merged. No?
