I don't like the idea of OLPC specific code. Isn't there any way to 
speed this up in general?
There is not yet even an option for OLPC_XO_1_5 (in contrast to 
CONFIG_OLPC) in mainline. Is such a thing planned?
I can't really see anything that would speak for accepting this patch 
now in current mainline, sorry.


Thanks,
