I'm not going to post that until there is consensus about the general availability of migrate disable, but for those who want to play with it I've pushed the resulting combo out to: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git highmem For testing I've tweaked a few places to use the new _local() variants and it survived testing so far and I've verified that there is actual preemption which means zap/restore of the thread local kmaps.
