Hi Alex,

I have been testing these patches with a Java server workload on an 8
socket (80 core) box with Hyperthreading enabled, and I have been seeing
good results with these patches.

When using a 3.10-rc2 tip kernel with patches 1-8, there was about a 40%
improvement in performance of the workload compared to when using the
vanilla 3.10-rc2 tip kernel with no patches. When using a 3.10-rc2 tip
kernel with just patches 1-7, the performance improvement of the
workload over the vanilla 3.10-rc2 tip kernel was about 25%.

Tested-by: Jason Low <jason.low2@...com>

Thanks,
Jason
