This patchset is still being reviewed by Peter . The purpose of this
series is mainly to sync up the version that Peter has and the ones that
I am working on incorporating his feedback. Further changes may still be
needed.

I run an overall performance test on this new patchset and present the
data in this cover letter. However, I haven't run performance tests for
individual patches. So the performance data listed in some of the
patches may be stale.

Cheers,
