Where can I get it? I couldn't find it either in
Linus' or x86 repo tip.

Thanks,

Hm, interesting. That's a pure performance fix - so why does it fix a
regression?

Does Peter's augmented rbtrees improvements fix a bug too, as a side-effect?
If yes then we need to accelerate that commit - right now it's aimed for
v2.6.36.

Thanks,

Ingo
