    Ok, looks real good, the simplification is amazing! :)

    Can you please redo with the minor nits addressed ontop of the
    tip:x86/alternatives branch:

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/?h=x86/alternatives

    and move the cleanups patches 13 and 14 to the beginning of the set?

    Thx.
