Denis, I see you submitted v2 without any adjustment to the description.
With Stefano having pointed out the aspect, it should have been pretty
clear that such a (kind of hidden) functional change wants justifying.

Furthermore, you added Stefano's R-b without any hint towards the extra
request he had put up above wrt x86.
