My results (2 nodes, 12 cores/node, 2 threads/core) show that you've
pretty much restored hackbench performance to v4.12. However, it's a
regression against v4.13 for hackbench-process-pipes (I'm guessing the
v4.13 improvement is due to Rik's original patches).

The last two result columns are your latest patch with NO_WA_WEIGHT
and then with WA_WEIGHT enabled.

(I hope you've all got wide terminals)

But things look pretty good for hackbench-process-sockets:

It's a similar story for hackbench-threads-{pipes,sockets}, i.e. pipes
regress but performance is restored for sockets.

Of course, like a dope, I forgot to re-run netperf with your WA_WEIGHT
patch. So I've queued that up now and it should be done by tomorrow.
