Wheeee! it actually compiles and boots for me on x86 ;-)

Seems to show that perf is rather sucky on kernbench though.

baseline (-rc6) data is here:

-mm1 is here:

Diffprofile is wacko (HZ seems to be defaulting to 250 in -mm).
If I factor it by 4x, I get:

     16644    30.5% buffered_rmqueue

Buggered if I know what that is from. I'm guessing scheduler, or the
HZ change. I guess I can rerun with the HZ set to 1000 ... you got any
experimental scheduler stuff in your tree?

Else I guess it's some memory allocator stuff maybe?
