I mean, it's a good thing that we don't have any issues that this
patch would catch today.  Seems Steven and I were surprised
(pessimistic?).

That's understandable. I think if the patch bakes in linux-next, it
might flush out some problematic cases in other ARCH's.

I reviewed the functions here and believe the ones you added checks
for all look good.  I value Rasmus' feedback, so I'd like to hear what
he thinks about my earlier comments.  I have no comment if we should
go further/annotate more, other than that that can be done in a follow
up patch.  Though Joe's comment on the relative order of where the
annotation appears in the function declarations should be addressed in
a V2 IMO.
