+ * We can do the critical dentry name comparison and hashing

+ * - Architectures with fast unaligned word accesses. We could
+ *   do a "get_unaligned()" if this helps and is sufficiently
+ *   fast.
+ *
+ * - Little-endian machines (so that we can generate the mask
+ *   of low bytes efficiently). Again, we *could* do a byte
+ *   swapping load on big-endian architectures if that is not
+ *   expensive enough to make the optimization worthless.
+ *
+ * - non-CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configurations (so that we
+ *   do not trap on the (extremely unlikely) case of a page
+ *   crossing operation.
+ *
+ * - Furthermore, we need an efficient 64-bit compile for the
+ *   64-bit case in order to generate the "number of bytes in
+ *   the final mask". Again, that could be replaced with a
+ *   efficient population count instruction or similar.
