It doesn't do anything for me on sparc64.  As per the change
description, it's a benefit also on platforms like x86 where
context-switch == tlb flush anyways.

At least that was my understanding.

If it's beneficial to the ia64 folks, I'm ambivalent, so just
put the fixed version back in once available.
