The thing you pasted isn't actually the thing in the subject line.
It's just you *using* it.

I wanted to see what that "writeo()" looks like for x86-64.

But I got google to find it for me by looking for "__raw_writeo", so I
can see the patch now. It looks like it might work. Does it really
help performance despite always doing those TS games in CR0 for each
access?
