And for tracing down the kernel portion of it.
I merely had a guess where the problem was and
went looking for a testcase, which could then
be reduced.

Yes, it works either way. Interrupts are some black magic, and I
must admit I don't really understand the impact of the issue even
after reading the verbose commit message…

Mhm, okay. But as things are now, we have a function call for things
like getting the TLS base and doing an atomic operation, which both
do a syscall, already, so I wonder whether it would get worse (more
things needing a function call indirection) or better (the function
call can be made indirect, then diverted to not need the syscall).

Oh, sounds like fun. Good luck! (ragnar76 is the one in need of
such drivers, he'd probably help testing, too.)
