I usually do a full set of tests on fs access, device IO access and a 
netperf after each patch.

Based on them it looks like it is worth it.

The more interesting question is - is this the right organization?

We have stuff in multiple places now - arch/x86/um , arch/um, etc.

IMHO, we should probably look at getting it organized so that all 
sub-arches are under the um tree at some point.
