For the education of us folks trying to learn and understand what's
going on in the kernel, could I ask you gurus to go into a little
bit of detail concerning the effects of this sort of commit?

IE: "Fixes a lockup", or "speeds up kernel" or "further reduces
need for Giant" kind of things, except with a tad more detail.

Thanks! :-)
