This is not a 2.6.32 regression, the behaviour is similar in 2.6.31 I have 
verified during the weekend.

It seems iostat isn't really able to see exactly where the bottleneck is, 
and my guess right now is that it's indeed the md raid6 layer that is 
causing my performance problems, even though it doesn't look like it in 
iostat.
