Please disregard my previous comment about making this a separate patch.  I
initially thought Jon Corbet would have to take this but it is not the case, it
can go through Bjorn's tree.

Same, I don't think we need to distinguish between reading and writing.  The
above would do just fine.

Here too I think it would be a good idea to make the feature configurable.
