Is this good or bad?

The numbers suggest the xfs + raid5 workload is doing around 2.4%
more IO to disk per second with this change in, and there is more
CPU idle time in the system...

For the tcp test, I see no throughput numbers, but I see more
idle time as well as more time in turbo mode, and more softirqs,
which could mean that more packets were handled.

Does the patch introduce any performance issues, or did it
simply trip up something in the statistics that your script
noticed?
