I'll try to dig out some old boxes we have here, maybe the build robot
could do some measurements too.

Fengguang et al, guys, is it possible for you to run this patch:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/b0ba174ea882ed36cf7011e872baf427c23b7e09.1424458621.git.luto@amacapital.net

on your fleet - has to be baremetal - to check how it behaves,
performance-wise? Older machines would be preferred...

That would be lovely :-)

Thanks!
