I wasn't able to on these systems, so instead I did cycle level
evaluation of the parts that have to run with interrupts disabled.

And as a result I found that wake_up() is now 4 times slower than it
was in 2.6.22, I even analyzed this for every single kernel release
till now.

It could be a sparc specific issue, because the call chain is deeper
and we eat a lot more register window spills onto the stack.
