Never got any feedback on this. I don't really have a strong opinion on it either way, but I'll need to know which way to go with my rebased patches. Also nice if we can avoid polluting upstream with unnecessary changes.

I believe it would suffice also to revert these two commits:

2616ac0be4b12bf31cfe8880a5b21c5a2da7d150
b8a578a03d18fab78ea1f79886e32c90f1d071a1

Turns out this doesn't actually save any math or locking, name
is chosen rather poorly, it doesn't match the existing kernel
APIs, and requires kvm-kmod changes.
