Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking :)

Liam was also just mentioning on IRC vmalloc lock contention came up
again at LSF, and that's historically always been an isuse - going with
your patchset for the backend nicely avoids that.

If I have time (hah! big if :) I'll see if I can cook up a patchset that
combines our two approaches over the weekend.
