Hi, was this on simulated hardware or a real AHCI controller and disk?

It does appear this test noticed increased throughput:

203893 ~ 0% +3.7% 211474 ~ 0% TOTAL iostat.sda.wkB/s

I wonder if ap->last_tag can be moved to a hotter cacheline, but if
throughput goes up I can imagine it throws off the cpu statistics
quite a bit.
