Yes, that's quite a speedup.  Can you provide some words in the patch
description which indicate that we have about a 3x speed increase for
8M mappings, which only gets better for larger mappings?

Given that this patch is now only touching ARM, is there any need to
indicate that it was CC'd to Hugh when it gets committed?
