thx, added your Acked-by and queued it up in x86/urgent.

The many dumb #ifdefs were the result of the mechanic unification of
fault.c - we waited for the bugs to get shaken out - it went pretty
well, there was only one in the end IIRC.

Now we can unify it semantically as well and create sane, maintainable
code with gradual patches. We used to have over 50 #ifdefs in fault.c
iirc, that's now down to 24. (still high but shrinking)
