After you test it **THOUROUGHLY**, send a patch to Linus. I recommend testing it in a user-mode program with all kinds of sizes/shapes/lengths/offsets, etc., and making certain that you don't destroy any registers that are "precious" for the usual versions of gcc.
If your patch doesn't hurt anything, even if it only adds marginal performance, I'm pretty sure that Linus will accept it.
Cheers, Dick Johnson
