If upstream typically doesn't like this kind of patch, maybe I should resubmit after I've developed an AVX2 patch as well? That would provide a much more convincing argument for speed, compared to the current patch which is fairly marginal.
Note that to make a convincing speed argument, you need to show a measurable improvement for a real world app. That's especially true for these ntdll functions, since apps are expected to mostly use the msvcrt variants instead.
