Right. But I do think that if you want CSE on a percpu access, you
might want to write it as such (ie load the value once and then re-use
the value).

But I'm not sure exactly which accesses Nadav noticed to be a problem,
so.. I guess I should just look at the other patches, but I found them
rather nasty and ad-hoc too so I just skimmed them with an "eww" ;)
