No, this is not what I mean at all!

I'm saying, I tried to review your patches and I don't like the end
result because it adds more complexity. And the reason(s) for it are not
persuading me enough to make me say: "yeah, this is a good thing, I want
it."

But this is only my opinion. That's all. The final decision is in the
hands of the x86 maintainers.
