Thanks!

Dominik, if you submit the x86 ptregs conversion patches in the next 1-2 days on 
top of Linus's tree (642e7fd23353), then I can apply them and if they are 
problem-free I can perhaps tempt Linus with a pull request early next week or so.

The Spectre angle does make me want those changes as well.

Thanks,
