Comparing with 2.6.28's results, specjbb2005 has about 7% regression with 2.6.29-rc1 on my a couple of x86_64 machines. aim7 has about 1.7% regression.
Ming did a quick bisect with aim7 and located below patch.

After we revert the patch, aim7 regression disappeared. specjbb2005 regression becomes less than 1.5% on 8-core stokley and disappears on 16-core tigerton. I don't know what causes the last 1.5% regression.
As tbench has about 5% improvement and oltp(mysql+sysbench) has 5% improvement, we also tested to make sure such improvement isn't related to above patch. volanoMark's improvement is also not related to the patch. So it seems safe to revert it.
