In comparison to what else is missing in the Hurd right now it is
surely a bit unimportant. And I don't mean to belittle your work
in any way!

I don't think your patch is wrong - it looks quite good actually.
It might just be something small like calling the SOFTINTs more/less
often. When we have it on the table someone else might come up
with the optimization.
