IOW, you want to disable split lock.

What's the point otherwise?

Apparently you want to do some sort of a solution for a cloud environment but
you can't make everyone happy.

So you either allow split locks or you slow down offenders. Making this
configurable doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me unless you write a proper,
concrete use case which justifies this and not some AI-generated bla.

If not, you can just as well keep this in your kernels and use it there.

I do not see the point of adding this in the upstream kernel.

Thx.
