As always, your commit log just states what have been done, but doesn't
tell why such changes have been made. For example, you said "it's designed
for high performance", then you'd better explain why your version would
introduce high performance. You need a reason, as well as some numbers
(percent change) to prove it: it's not that right to keep the numbers
inside: I'm sure people outside intel are also willing and happy to know
those numbers.
For this patch, I think it's more about the maintainability improvement
but not performance: the performance tunning patches are done later
after all.
Another example is, in patch 6, you said "It reduces CPU pipeline stall
cycles significantly", but you didn't say why there is pipeline stall
before and why your patch reduces it.
All those are important things that deserves some explanation. So, I'd
ask you to re-visit all your patches in this set, to think what you
could add to make the commit better and more informative.
Besides that, I think this patchset looks fine to me. I may just need
another time to look it more carefully, then I think I can merge (v6).
BTW, thanks for the great work!
