The patch gives more significant change than the Fixes, and Fixes
would expand to the previous stable versions. Please don't set it as a
Fixes, but an improved OVERSTACK dead path performance feature.

Another tricky asm code of using percpu, I don't know how the percpu
maintenance guy thinks.
Percpu is really complex to be used here. That's why I don't like
Jisheng's previous idea, although I haven't given an explicitly
opposed comment.
Keep simple and direct.

Yes, your patch gives a good performance here. But what do we gain?
