If this makes performance non-negligibly worse on other 32-bit chips, and is
an important improvement on 8xx, then we can use an ifdef since 8xx already
requires its own kernel build.  I'd prefer to see a benchmark showing that it
actually does make things worse on those chips, though.

And I'd like to see a benchmark that shows it *does not* hurt performance
on most chips, and does improve things on 8xx, and by how much.  But it
isn't *me* who has to show that, it is not my patch.

Ok, following this discussion I made some additional measurement and it 
looks like:
* There is almost no change on the 885
* There is a non negligeable degradation on the 8323 (19.5 tb ticks 
instead of 15.3)

Thanks for pointing this out, I think my patch is therefore not good.
