During TPC-C testing on IA64 platform, we binded LGWR process to 1 cpu, and find
 that sys% is over 50%.
With oprofile we find that _spin_unlock_irqrestore() rated over 31%, and try_to_wake_up()
caused this.
I don't understand why unlock operation has high sampling rate, is there anybody know about
this?

Thanks.
