Here it is:

Csum benchmark program
buffer size: 1 K
Each test tried 1024 times, max and min CPU cycles are reported.
Please disregard max values. They are due to system interference only.
csum tests:
kernel_csum - took 8678 max, 808 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
kernel_csum - took 941 max, 808 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
kernel_csum - took 11604 max, 808 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
kernelpii_csum - took 28839 max, 664 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
kernelpiipf_csum - took 9163 max, 665 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
pfm_csum - took 2788 max, 1470 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
pfm2_csum - took 1179 max, 915 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
copy tests:
kernel_copy - took 688 max, 263 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
kernel_copy - took 456 max, 263 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
kernel_copy - took 11241 max, 263 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
kernelpii_copy - took 7635 max, 246 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
ntqpf_copy - took 5349 max, 536 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
ntqpfm_copy - took 769 max, 425 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
ntq_copy - took 672 max, 469 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
ntqpf2_copy - took 8000 max, 579 min cycles per kb. sum=0x400270e8
Done

Ran on a 512K (my cache size) buffer, choosing each time a 1K
piece. (making the buffer larger (2M, 4M) does not make any
difference).

And the modified 0main.c is attached.
