I tested aim7, hackbench, tbench, dbench, on NHM EP, SNB EP 2S/4S and
IVB EP.
Comparing to Alex's rlbv8(same as upstream except no blocked_load_avg on
tg), -- both base on 3.9.0 kernel.
aim7 drops about 10% on SNB EP 2S/4S,
hackbench drops 10% on SNB EP 4S. drops 1~5% on other 2 sockets NHM
EP/IVB EP/SNB EP.


tbench/dbench failed due to a bug commit you had dependent on. but it
was fixed on upstream kernel.

Running for 600 seconds with load '/usr/local/share/client.txt' and
minimum warmup 120 secs
failed to create barrier semaphore.
