This pops up now and again.

I myself posted a mail with the same suggestion back in 1998
http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9808.1/1282.html .
Colin Slater suggested it in 2001
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0107.1/0313.html and there
are additional occourances of this in the archives as well...
