Actually, it was so trivial that I already did it, and only had one
stupid brown-bag moment while doing so.

Now my threaded test-case spends most of its time allocating the
temporary page for the result.

It's pushed out.

Btw, Al, I really want a pull request from you to fix the "returning
to user space with semaphore held" thing. Or I'm going to apply the
patch myself.  I'm on the road starting very early tomorrow morning,
and I don't want to have that hanging over me..
