It bisected to 1c9ce52. Reverting that in 27.git had the expected
result, nada. Full bisection/test log below - you can jump straight to
post run sanity checks. I'm torn between building a straight line tree
from v2.6.26 through git.today and bisecting that sucker, or exorcising
netperf from my box and swearing a sacred oath to never download the
damned thing again. Nuking netperf is most attractive option.
