Note that the two printf() calls make the code less optimized.

Anyway, I see the following from bufpage.s for these lines under -O2:

1) On HEAD at 07e9e28b56db:
.LVL306:
.loc 3 201 23 is_stmt 1 discriminator 1 view .LVU547
cmpq $1024, %rbx <- Yep, that's wrong.
jne .L417

2) On HEAD at 49d6c7d8daba:
.LVL299:
.loc 1 131 16 is_stmt 0 discriminator 1 view .LVU524
cmpq $8192, %rbx
je .L419

3) With the patch sent at [1]:
.LVL306:
.loc 3 201 23 is_stmt 1 discriminator 1 view .LVU545
cmpq $8192, %rbx
jne .L417

So it does not matter one way or another for 2) or 3), does it?
