Ingo, can we proceed without coverting this assembly to C? I'm committed to convert it to C later if we'll find reasonable solution to the issue. We're pretty late into release cycle. It would be nice to give the whole thing time in tip/master and -next before the merge window. Can I repost part 4? -- Kirill A. Shutemov
