With compaction and THP off I don't see how it could change
anything.

But can you try the THP-33 tag of my aa.git tree, that was based on
2.3.37-rc5 so it'll rule out the whole THP patchset if it doesn't
regress compared to 2.6.37-rc5 vanilla.

git clone --reference linux-2.6 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/andrea/aa.git
git checkout THP-33

Thanks,
Andrea
