Is this actually faster for the common (very small n) case?
ISTR 'stupid' sorting algorithms are actually faster when the data fits into L1

Broken comment style.

Is this really the first heap implementation in the kernel?

That's turning into unreadable garbage due to indentation; surely there's a solution for that.
