It would be nice to have at least a statement like: These patches have been tested both with the user-space testing tool and in a RAID6 md array and the pass all test. While we cannot release performance numbers as the hardwere is not released, we can confirm that on that hardware the performance with these patches is faster than without. I guess I should be able to assume that - surely the patches would not be posted if it were not true... But I like to avoid assuming when I can.
