I actually did at some point and depending on the workload the overhead
was clearly measurable. And yes, it fell apart with PCID and I could not
come up with a scheme for it which did not suck horribly. So I burried
the patches in the poison cabinet.
Aside of that, we'd need to implement that for a eight other
architectures as well...
