I just merged Yan's missing hunks that might help explain this.  At
least for fs_mark, you shouldn't really be hitting the throttling code
very often.

But, until I fully thread the allocator I can't completely get rid of
the stalls.  That's one of the first things on my list for after v0.16

One of your procs is stuck in generic_unplug_device, and that one didn't
come from me ;)  Sounds like the IO subsystem might be taking short
breaks as well.
