Ok, so if someone posts a patch that works but does things the wrong way, and
that patch gets rejected during reviews, but the submitter doesn't post a
follow-up patch that does things the right way, you're going to apply the first
patch anyway?

What about the BSP team's contention that enabling 64-bit support in the kernel
can drop performance by up to 25% in some situations?  We talked about that on
an internal mailing list several months ago.
