Alright, I've now had a chance to compare the object code generated 
before
my patch is applied, with what is generated after it is applied and the
same object code is generated for arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c in both cases 
(at
least when compiling with clang, however I suspect other optimizing
compilers would behave similarly).
