In this case, yes, runtime overhead in nil.

What about passing dummy credentials? What about DMAPI stubbed to errors
since XFS hit mainline (at least 900 lines which can be removed)? They
have runtime overhead.

I can add "behavoir chains" here but patch for dealing with them doesn't
exists yet, so I won't.
