Hi Linus,
indeed, I've been doing mostly userland stuff lately, and my latest
kernel patch was x86 (got to keep all of my hardware working ;) ). Now
that I've changed jobs, I'm expecting to be more active on the kernel
side (though still doing a lot of userland).

I couldn't find why it was introduced either (and git blame wasn't
much help). I'm assuming there was some other mode in vendor trees
that never made it into mainline (but the flag for switching between
the modes did).

Thanks! Remaining patches reposted and currently waiting.
