That's good news! Not unexpected though.

One thing to look closely at is whether it's just that the qspinlocks 
are gone from the profiles but replaced by time spent in __mm_cid_get() 
due to cache-line bouncing of find-first-zero/test-and-set on the per-mm 
cid bitmap.

But if both are really gone from the profiles, then it's really good news.

Thanks,

Mathieu
