I do not get it. 5265047ac301 which this patch effectively reverts has
regressed kvm workloads. People started to notice only later because
they were not running on kernels with that commit until later. We have
4.4 based kernels reports. What do you propose to do for those people?
Let me remind that it was David who introduced 5265047ac301, presumably
because his workload benefits from it.
