Yes thank you. I386 is not my field, I have no interest per se in
improving i386 performance and without your help I would have to drop this
and keep the special casing in SLUB for i386. Generic tlb.h changes may
also help to introduce quicklists to x86_64. The current quicklist patches
can only work on higher levels due to the freeing of ptes via
tlb_remove_page().
