The usual 16x NUMA-Q system ... this is all cache warm out of pagecache, so
I don't see why AS would make a difference. -mm and -mjb are fairly
consistent (as I'd expect) except for kernbench -j256 (the middle one)
where you somehow do dramtically better (on systime especially). These are
the averages of 5 runs, and they only move by a second or two of systime,
so I don't think it's experimental error. I ran SDET as well, but it wasn't
very interesting.

OK, so who killed .text.lock.file_table? and how? ;-)
If I do a "-j" instead (infinte tasks), it looks boringly similar
from the results, but the profiles tell a different story:

BTW, I have your "atime" patch you sent me in -mjb2, and fstab is:
