Thanks for testing it. Let's add these results to the changelog:

Subject: [PATCH] psi: make disabling/enabling easier for vendor kernels
Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool
set from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things
to make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_ENABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel, but leaving the feature
disabled unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:
: The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against
: your patch and a vanilla kernel
