Hi,

not directly related to your serie, but some time ago I sent a patch to 
micro-optimize Optimize usleep_range(). (See [1])

The idea is that the 2 parameters of usleep_range() are usually 
constants and some code reordering could easily let the compiler compute 
a few things at compilation time.

There was consensus on the value of the change (see [2]), but as you are 
touching things here, maybe it makes sense now to save a few cycles at 
runtime and a few bytes of code?

CJ
