While I do not have the bandwidth to make an in-depth review
(and parse and run the assembly in my head...)
I do get the overall picture and this is overall a very nice improvement
so FWIW:
Acked-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij at linaro.org>
for the entire patch series.

If you want me to test this on some exotic system (such as the
ARMv4 footbridge or IXP4xx BE) tell me and I'll try to make time for it!

Yours,
Linus Walleij
