OK, I can see 1536927045-23536-17-git-send-email-rppt at linux.vnet.ibm.com
now. If you are going to repost for whatever reason please merge those
two. Also I would get rid of the implicit "0 implies SMP_CACHE_BYTES"
behavior. It is subtle and you have to dig deep to find that out. Why
not make it explicit?
