Hopefully my command line from this other email will be consistent with
the new schbench, please let me know if you're still seeing variations.

In terms of other things to try, I was creating one worker per messenger
to maximize runqueue lock contention, but variations on -t may be
interesting.

Basically I did -t 1 -m <increasing> until all the idle time on
unpatched Linus was soaked up, and then I compared Linus and swqueue.
