Hi,
As mentioned in each patch, this implements the solution that we discussed in December 2023, in [1]. This turned out to be very clean and easy. It should also be quite easy to maintain.
This should also make Peter Zijlstra happy, because it directly addresses the root cause of his "NAK NAK NAK" reply [2]. :)
I haven't done much build testing, because selftests are not so easy to build with a cross-compiler. So it's just tested on x86 64-bit so far.
