Subject[PATCH 0/3] context_tracking: streamline code, avoid IRQ save/restore
Date
The first two of these patches were posted last February, the last one
is new. Rik's old measurements were that it shaved around .3 microseconds
on each iteration of his KVM benchmark.

I guess three days before the start of the merge window is not
the best time to post patches. However, I brought this series up at
kernel summit yesterday, and Andy's cleanups actually makes it trivial
to apply this to syscall entry. So here it is, perhaps it's worth it.

Assuming it works, of course, because this is compile-tested only. :)
