I tested your tree till this patch set under our lkp testing system,
with benchmark kbuild, aim9-mutitask, specjbb2005 -openjdk/jrockit,
hackbench-process/thread, sysbench -fileio-cfq, multiple loop back
netperf, on 2 laptops, SNB i7, and WSM i5.
only aim9-mutitask-nl (2000 loads, increment 100) has about 2%
performance drop on both of machine.
all others has no clear performance change.
