It may be that XLP's cache doesn't benefit from using prepare-for-store hints.  In any case, the patch doesn't regress performance, so I'm OK with it.

I will note that I'm not comfortable pushing a patch like this so
close to the 2.17 freeze.

My preference would be that 2.17 goes out the door, then once the
freeze is over we put this patch into trunk and then everyone can test
it and ensure that what we get is continual incremental improvement.

Cheers,
Carlos.
