Well the reason for it is because whoever knew about the problem found
other things to do meanwhile :) But do we really need something smarter
here anyway? The situation described in e676505 should be extremely rare
even on non unrestricted guest HW and it happens during slow emulation
anyway, so optimization will likely not be noticeable.
