What exactly is XSBench doing in this situation? What sort of improvements can we expect to see in useful workloads? I see it no longer consumes an additional page flag, good. The patches show no evidence of review activity and I'm not seeing much on the mailing list (patchset title was changed. Previous title "Reduce TLB flushes under some specific conditions"). Perhaps a better description of the overall benefit to our users would help to motivate reviewers.
