Optimistically, 2.6.37, so six months.

Sure we do, but will users update?
0.12 is mature enough that some users will forget about it and not
update it.

Let's make it the other way round, enable the optimization for userspace
that declares that it does not make use of rip during emulation
(kvm-tpr-opt can be changed by queueing a signal and re-entering the
guest to complete the operation).
Later we can make the optimization unconditional.
