We are working on the "more interesting benchmarks", starting with KVM 
workloads.  However, I must warn you all, more interesting = a lot more 
time to run.  These are a lot more complex in that they have real I/O, 
and they can be a lot more challenging because there are response time 
requirements (so fairness is an absolute requirement).  We are getting a 
baseline right now and re-running with our user-space VM-to-numa-node 
placement program, which in the past achieved manual binding performance 
or just slightly lower.  We can then compare to these two solutions.  If 
there's something specific to collect (perhaps you have a lot of stats 
or data in debugfs, etc) please let me know.
