Subject2.5.70-mm2 causes performance drop of random read O_DIRECT
Starting in 2.5.70-mm2 and continuing in the mm tree, there is a 
significant degrade in random read for block devices using O_DIRECT.
The drop occurs for all block sizes and ranges from 30%-40. CPU usage
is also lower although it may already be so low as to be irrelavent.


tolerance = 0.00 + 3.00% of 2.5.70-mm1
2.5.70-mm1 2.5.70-mm2
