For some places on data path, it might be worth it
to cache the correct value e.g. as part of device
structure. This replaces a branch with a memory load,
so the gain would have to be measured, best done
separately?

I think we'll want to do some measuring once the basic structure is
in place anyway.

What's meant by in place here?

That this patchset is ready :)

Also it's ready to the level where benchmarking is possible, right?  I
don't think you should wait until we finish polishing up commit
messages.

My point is that I haven't even found time yet to test this
thouroughly :(

If my experience shows anything, it's unlikely we'll get appropriate
testing without code being upstream first.
That's why I pushed on with sparse tagging btw.
This way we can be reasonably sure we didn't miss some path.
