Numbers on my box say a throughput regression remains (silly fork bomb
scenario.. yawn), which can be recouped by either turning on all
SL[AU]B features or converting the list_lock to a raw lock.  They also
seem to be saying that if you turned on PREEMPT_RT because you care
about RT performance first and foremost (gee), you'll do neither of
those, because either will eliminate an RT performance progression.
