[Add Steve Ellcey, thanks for testing on ThunderX]

Lmbench-3.0-a9 testing is performed on ThunderX machine to check that
ILP32 series does not add performance regressions for LP64. Test
summary is in the table below. Our measurements doesn't show
significant performance regression of LP64 if ILP32 code is merged,
both enabled or disabled.

ILP32 enabled ILP32 disabled Standard Kernel
null syscall 0.1066 0.1121 0.1121
95.09% 100.00%

stat 1.3947 1.3814 1.3864
100.60% 99.64%

fstat 0.4459 0.4344 0.4524
98.56% 96.02%

open/close 4.0606 4.0411 4.0453
100.38% 99.90%

read 0.4819 0.5014 0.5014
96.11% 100.00%

Tested with linux 4.8 because 4.9-rc1 is not fixed yet for ThunderX.
Other system details below.
