The patchset I sent earlier changed slightly. The tests were performed
on the version I sent. Right now I'm waiting for your results to make
a final decision whether or not to develop the flat model together with
the hierarchical one.

So what are we going to do? The ways we have:
1. Make two models - hierarchical and flat. Maybe we'll see how to merge
   them later;
2. Optimize the hierarchical model to produce no performance hit on the
   first 2 levels (init and VS). I don't see the way to make this
   gracefully, but I maybe this can be solved ... somehow. Anyway, if
   the latest patches from Suka do not produce any noticeable overhead,
   I am OK to go on with them;
3. Make the CONFIG_MAX_NS_DEPTH model. This is likely to be fast in the
   flat case, but I am in doubt whether Andrew will like it :)
