    I do not understand this commit message. Please, split your patch on 2
    patches and put a better to each one. Thanks!

    Please, make this to be a separate patch.

    And surely there are many other places in the kernel which need this

    I do not understand why this "if" statement is not needed? Why it was
    there in the first place and why you remove it? Please, describe this in
