Everything thus far has been CONFIG_PREEMPT=n (the default for this platform).
With CONFIG_PREEMPT=y the resync is back in the 50MB/s range.
[iop-adma: hi-prio workqueue, CONFIG_PREEMPT=y]

The tasklet configuration stays in 50MB/s ballpark, and the default
priority (nice -5) workqueue case remains in the 30's with
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.
