I added my share of build issues to this RFC as can be seen in the bot responses to other patches. My assumption is that these build issues will not prevent people from looking into and commenting on the bigger performance issue that was the reason for this series. The build issues would of course be resolved if there is some concensus that this is the way to move forward to address this issue. If the build issues are a stumbling block for anyone to look at this bigger issue, let me know and I will fix them all ASAP. -- Mike Kravetz
