No, this wasn't causing damage. I was tracking another problem which
was incidentally triggered by another of your changes -- increased
stack use lead to stack overflow on amd64 with a deep PCI hierarchy
(a MicroTCA system).

Just stumbled over this. But it is obviously wrong. If you think
it should be in the public tree there should be at least a big fat
comment telling that it is for testing purposes and nothing uses
it really and it will be removed before it can cause damage.

best regards
Matthias
