This is a good start!

Can you compare this with Peter's approach to modify init/Kconfig, make 
SCHED_MM_CID a bool, and set it =n in the kernel config ?

I just want to see what baseline we should compare against.

Another test we would want to try here: there is an arbitrary choice for 
the runqueue cache array size in my own patch:

kernel/sched/sched.h:
# define RQ_CID_CACHE_SIZE    8

Can you try changing this value for 16 or 32 instead and see if it helps?

Thanks,

Mathieu
