Tim, I was really hoping to send all this in one big bundle. I was doing
some further testing (enabling hyperthreading and some Oracle runs),
fortunately everything looks ok and we are getting actual improvements
on large boxes.

That said, how about I send you my i_mmap rwsem patchset for a v2 of
this patchset?

Thanks,
Davidlohr
