Have i missed a mail of yours perhaps? I dont have any track of
you having posted mmap-perf perfcounters results. I grepped my
mbox and the last mail i saw from you containing the string
"mmap-perf" is from January 20, and it only includes my numbers.

What i'd expect you to do is to proactively measure the overhead
of CONFIG_PARAVIRT overhead of the native kernel, and analyze
and address the results. Not just minimalistically reply to my
performance measurements - as that does not really scale in the
long run.
