Thanks for the suggestions, we'll keep improving the reports to avoid confusion
or misleading.

Hmm, I've checkout the tip's x86/asm branch (HEAD is f25d38475 "x86/asm:
Optimize clear_page()"), but I failed to apply your diff on top of it (error
log as below). Could you provide a tree/branch which contains your fix, it would
much easier for 0day to catch and test.

error: patch failed: arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h:227
error: arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h: patch does not apply
error: patch failed: arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h:41
error: arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h: patch does not apply


Thanks,
