Hi Dave, Thank you for acking.
The reason I am not doing initializing stores is because they require a membar, even if only regular stores are following (I hoped to do a membar before first load). This is something I was thinking was not true, but after consulting with colleagues and checking processor manual, I verified that it is the case.

You should probably use initializing stores when you are doing 8 stores and we thus know the page struct is cache line aligned. But other than that: Acked-by: David S. Miller <da...@davemloft.net>
