Hmm... disabling FORCED_INLINING didn't make much if any difference.

Yes, the latest combo patch works. It still gives the warning, too
(copied here since it looks slightly different with the latency trace
patch added):

I've posted the /proc/latency_trace here:
http://members.cox.net/barrykn/linux/trace/latency_trace.bz2

It turns out that I was *way* off on the size in my last mail. It's
actually close to 9MB decompressed, 370K bz2-compressed.
