after much searching on how you guys run hackbench... I figured
something like:

perf bench sched messaging -g 20 --thread -l 60000

on my IVB-EP (2*10*2) is similar to your IVT thing.

And running something like:

for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor ; do echo performance > $i ; done
perf stat --null --repeat 10 -- perf bench sched messaging -g 20 --thread -l 60000 | grep "seconds time elapsed"

gets me:

v4.6:

36.786914089 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.49% )
37.054017355 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.05% )

origin/master (v4.7-rc1-ish):

34.757435264 seconds time elapsed ( +- 3.34% )
35.396252515 seconds time elapsed ( +- 3.38% )

Which doesn't show a regression between v4.6 and HEAD; in fact it shows
an improvement.
