And I do still react to PeterZ's

arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S | 150 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------

vs

arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S | 7 ++++++-

for mine. And PeterZ's apparently still had bugs.

Yes, mine can have bugs too, but I really *have* done some basic
testing, and with 6 lines of code, I think they are more localized.
