I really don't see why we need such complexity here.

Fuad did post something[1] that did the trick with a far less invasive
change, and it really feels like we are putting the complexity at the
wrong place.

So what's wrong with that approach? I get that you want to shout about
secondary CPUs, but that's an orthogonal problem.
