For get_unmapped_area() under x86_64, all 5 args are in registers, also
file->f_op->get_unmapped_area and current->mm->get_unmapped_area args
are same as get_unmapped_area(), which called directly (no new insns).
For me I am not quite sure which performance is better (So originally,
I said, "if orig code has a bit better performance, also if more than
20% taste orig code simple enough, we can keep it no touch").
- New size is a little smaller than orig size.
- But new insns is a little more than orig insns (x86_64 is not fix
wide insns).
For me, I guess, new code is a bit better than orig code: for normal
sequence insns, 'size' is more important than insns count (at least, it
is more clearer than insns count).
