Please provide a better explanation of what these functions do. It's
very unclear from the code (which looks like it could be a lot simpler),
and the name of the function is totally obscure as well.

We have asked you how many times to improve on your changeset comments
at the -very-least- ? Explain what functions do and why they do it, and
when I say explain, I don't mean 2 lines of rot13. I mean actual
sentences that a human being can read and have a chance to understand.

Also, I would appreciate if you picked up the habit of adding docbook
doco for any API function you add, even if it's in the x86 "internal"
file.

Cheers,
Ben.
