This changelog doesn't really explain why we want this. You are
reshuffling the code, allright, but why do we want to reshuffle? Is the

does the claimed reduced overhead coming from?
From a quick look buddy_merge_likely looks nicer than the code splat
we have. Good.

Ouch this is just awful don't you think?
