Yeah, I have to say that I particularly don't like patch #1. It's some
rather nasty complexity for dubious gains, and holding the lock for
longer times might have downsides.

And the numbers seem to not necessarily be in favor of patch #3
either, which I would have otherwise been predisposed to like (ie it
looks fairly targeted and not very complex).

#2 seems trivially correct but largely irrelevant.

So I think this series is one of those "we need to find that it makes
a big positive impact" to make sense.
