NAK for this and all the other patches, for two technical reasons:

- Please squash most of these trivial patches into a single patch 
  that also describes the context completely, at least the x86 and 
  core kernel ones that I'd apply within a single maintenance 
  domain.

- Please use the customary changelog style we use in the kernel:

   " Current code does (A), this has a problem when (B).
     We can improve this doing (C), because (D)."

Just saying 'because of LTO' is not enough, obviously. You need to 
talk about and explain things Andi. Being cryptic, mysterious and 
curt might work with some ladies, but it's outright harmful on lkml.

Thanks,

	Ingo
