I'm not sure why this would even be reported, as this patch has not been accepted
or acked or nothin', by anyone. In this particular case that raw performance drop
is because spinning is pretty much disabled by Ding's change. Totally expected for
the kind of workload unixbench triggers.

All this does is hurt lkml-searchability.

Thanks,
