As a personal preference, I don't use likely/unlikley unless I have a profiler
telling me that the compiler got it wrong.  Just a suggestion.

I tend to use them for paths which should never happen in normal operation (error paths mostly). But yeah, I am probably still overusing them - who says the error path is not normal in some cases? Old habits die hard...

And I added more unlikely() calls than are visible in the patches. Remember that every IS_ERR() counts as a unlikely() too.
