Note that 2.6.27 beats 2.6.26 by 30% with bulk traffic over
loopback as opposed to the small packets sent by tbench where
I saw a 5% drop in performance on my machine.

So I'm not sure whether this should really be classified as
a regression if we limit ourselves to the changes between 26
and 27.

The changes prior to 26 seem to be more significant.
