It provides a value with a load immediate instruction instead of requiring a data load which could hurt the data cache. It aims at providing a very efficient manner to branch over compiled-in but mostly inactive code. This release takes care of the modifications suggested in the previous round of review (thanks to all reviewers!). It applies on 2.6.22-rc6-mm1, and depends on the text edit lock patch.
