I just ran some iozone tests and I don't see any dramatic degrade in
performance.
This is before applying the patch:
Command line used: ./iozone_arm -az -i0 -i1 -s 50m -I
Output is in Kbytes/sec
Time Resolution = 0.000030 seconds.
Processor cache size set to 1024 Kbytes.
Processor cache line size set to 32 bytes.
File stride size set to 17 * record size.

That's probably a good idea. Do you know of a way to check if CMD12 has been
