Hi Alex,

Thanks for taking the time for putting this together, as it has been a
long standing issue that needed fixing.

I believe all the changes in this file can be avoided, see below.

This single change is causing quite a lot of churn, most of which
could be avoided if you actually reused the macro name:

It'd be worth adding a comment saying that this never runs on the boot
CPU (I just spent 10 minutes wondering why this worked).

Otherwise, this looks pretty good, and I'd like to take this into 5.10
if you can respin it quickly.
