This has further increased SPECjbb from 203k/sec to 207k/sec, 
i.e. it's now 5% faster than mainline - THP enabled.

The profile is now totally flat even during a full 32-WH SPECjbb 
run, with the highest overhead entries left all related to timer 
IRQ processing or profiling. That is on a system that should be 
very close to yours.

Thanks,
