That sounds like a bug. The mpeg thread should not feed anything to the MAS
until it is bitswapped.

Linus, you have any comment on this?

If this really is what you need, then why is this 8MB dependent (setting the
limit to 1MB)? Shouldn't this instead be made unconditionally even for 2MB
builds?

Possibly, we just don't like kludgy fixes in the code without very good
reasons.
