I looked at the patches - well mostly patches 1 and 2, some quick questions

1. I know -mprofile-kernel is a big optimization win, do we need it or can
we incrementally add it?
2. Some of the hardcoded checks for opcode are hard to review, I know they've
been there in similar forms for a while. May be as an iterative step we should
give the numbers some meaning and use proper helpers for it.

I am going to give the patches a spin
