I don't usually get very upset about stronger comments, even if they
are coming from senior kernel maintainer like Greg, but your concern
does make me feel like crap. I'm sorry Guenter.

Please just note that nobody else has considered the approach as a
problem or noticed it before Greg any more then you, and this code has
by now been review by many, including some people who I consider senior
kernel developers and maintainers, both internally inside Intel and
also publicly on these lists.
