Hi,
Sorry for slacking off earlier, I was trying to recharge myself with some time
off without looking at kernel code, and come back with a renewed focus.

Thanks for your feedback. It forced me to do some introspection.
I was trying to explore if we can tweak and make the current code faster, while
still tryign to keep it as simple as it is

Hi,
This effort is heavily based on top of Gregor's and Michal's diffs. Tried to
incorporate feedback given by different people to them in 2011/2016. Split the
new code in a ifdef, so people can do a straight comparison, tried very hard
not to delete existing code, just shifted it around. Main
