I did a quick review on the patchset and tested the patches 1~3, and 1~3
plus 4th, my patch plus 4th.

The patch looks much complicated, and also goes writing slow path to
steal locking. My patch looks quite straight and simple.

This 1~3 patch has very very similar performance effect with mine.

The highlight patch is the 4th, seems it can provide about ~2% aim7
performance gain(base on both of mine or patches 1~3) on my 4S NHM EX
machine.
