Hi Andi,
Can you please include the following patch. This patch has already been pushed by Andrew.

IIRC, I dropped this patch because of discouraging noises from Andi and because underlying x86_64 changes broke it in ugly ways. It needs to be redone and Andi's objections (whatever they were) need to be addressed or argued about.
Right now the patch is rather dead.
