Have completed the first run of the experimental branch on my RAID
system and the results are encouraging.

Compared to 2.6.29-rc2:
Large file creates increase 50% plus across all thread counts.
Mail Server is up about 20%
Random reads are pretty much flat
Random Writes are up 50% or more
Sequential reads took a 10% hit on single thread, but 20% gain on 128
threads.

All in all good progress. Results and graphs can be found here:
