Quite frankly, there is no way in hell I will take a patch like that
for 3.14 any more, and I would argue against it for stable.

Now, if this problem never happens with current kernels (because it's
purely due to the patch in -tip), then I don't much care.

That said, I don't understand why we are even adding new features like
this to 32-bit mode in the first place, so if that patch is the sole
source of all this headache, then why not just throw the patch away?
