Thanks

It can't work, since the slow check, the one you commented out in your
second patch, is an open coded search over the hash chains, it does
not go by any function which would use the tree.

But looking at it again: this needs generally more work.
There has to be some tuning done where to hook in the cache code. And
the cache code is complicated...

Huh?
With CONFIG_NO_REVERSE_TREE this should be a NOP, the code should be
in "pristine" form then....
I have to look
