I don't have doubts about the upstream code, I was merely wondering 
whether the performance hit from disabling SIMD is still present in 
newer kernels (it wasn't immediately obvious to me while browsing the 
5.10 source).

These efforts are highly appreciated! It's not trivial for me to switch 
to a new kernel (needs extensive product testing), so I'm happy with the 
5.4 patch. But I'll be sure to skip right to 5.10 when moving to a new 
kernel.

Best regards,
Erik
