I'm not sure.  In trying to get as much of your patches in so a
reasonable discussion could be had of the remainder, I've set a high
bar for 'I clearly understand what this patch is trying to do and why'
and a high sensitivity for 'gut feeling'.  

It isn't an objection in that sense, mostly me putting it off hoping
someone else solves it for me.

It is more that I would like comment from someone like metze before
removing a check we thought we had 'just' to build on a new compiler.  

I like the explanation, and agree with you, but I as there isn't a rush
I'm looking for broader comment. 

Also, if this rule is violated on these platforms, does the kernel fix
it up or is this SIGBUS?

Thanks,
