Your comment triggered some further internal discussions about the meaning of the values for the current system implementation. We'll think this one over again and repost the final solution in time for 2.6.24-rc1. If the rest of this patchset is okay with you, could you apply it and leave out this one patch? The patchset will apply cleanly without it.
