    Boot with 2.6.32 and see if the per cpu allocator works. Check if there
    are any changes to memory consumption. Create a few thousand virtual
    ethernet devices and see if the system keels over.

    It may also be good to run some scheduler test. Compare AIM9 of latest
    SLES with 2.6.32. Concurrent page fault test? Then a performance test with
    lots of concurrency but the usual stuff wont work since HPC apps usually
    pin.

    Run latencytest (available in the lldiag package) from
    kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/lldiag and see how the
    disturbances by the OS are changed.
