I think, this not being SMP, doing what you just did tickled just about
everything there is.

There is one more potential issue with MMU-gather / TLB invalidate on
m68k (and a whole bunch of other archs) and I have patches for that
(although I now need to redo the m68k one.

Meanwhile the build robot gifted me with a build issue, and Will had
some nitpicks, so I'll go respin and repost these patches.
