I really doubt the value of that quicklist horror. IIRC x86 stopped
supporting that a while ago as well.

I would suspect the page-table retention scheme possible with RCU freed
page tables could be far more efficient than quicklists, but then that's
all speculation since I don't know what kind of workloads we're talking
about and this glaring lack of implementation to compare.
