I was testing with CONFIG_PREEMPT, which makes rcu_read_[un]lock()s
quite a bit more expensive.  The following is the same test results
with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY which would the most preemptive server
distros would get anyway.

One CPU.

  copy size	atomic		percpu		diff in pct
  0		534583387	1521561724	+184.63%
  32		399098138	 615962137	+ 54.34%
  64		388128431	 555599274	+ 43.15%
  128		341336474	 464502792	+ 36.08%
  256		280471681	 354186740	+ 26.28%
  512		203784802	 240067596	+ 17.80%

All eight CPUs.

  copy size	atomic		percpu		diff in pct
  0		117213982	12488998111	+10,554.87%
  32		103545751	4940695158	+ 4,671.51%
  64		 98135094	4456370409	+ 4,441.06%
  128		117729659	3725434154	+ 3,064.40%
  256		 95916768	2840992396	+ 2,861.94%
  512		 95795993	1926044518	+ 1,910.57%

Ration of all cores / single core.

  copy size	atomic		percpu
  0		0.22		8.21
  32		0.26		8.02
  64		0.25		8.02
  128		0.34		8.02
  256		0.34		8.02
  512		0.47		8.02	

So, it's faster even with only one CPU.

Thanks.
