No, it's for everything, but it requires a glibc that has set it up.

Uli, do you make public snapshots available so that people can test the
new libraries and maybe see system-wide performance issues?

(It would also be good for testing - I've tried to be _very_ careful
inside the kernel, but in the end wide testing is always a good idea)
