I haven't actually seen the reports.
That said, I do think this should be improving. The random architecture-specific code is largely going away, and we'll have a unified rwsem.
It might obviously cause some pain initially, but I think long-term we should be much better off, at least avoiding the "on particular configurations" issue..
