Same test as last time except I'm using all 4 cores on a Skylake desktop
instead of just 1. The test is this:

With PCIDs, lseek()s/second go up around 2% to 3% with the these patches
enabling the global bit (it's noisy). I measured it at 3% before, so
definitely the same ballpark. That was also before all of Andy's
trampoline stuff and the syscall fast path removal.
