Good point. Here are the numbers:

Power8 PSeries KVM Guest(64 VCPUs, the host has 16 cores, 128 hardware
threads):

Counter increment speed (ns/increment)
1 thread 2 threads 4 threads 8 threads 16 threads 32 threads
global increment (baseline) 6.5 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A
percpu rseq increment 7.0 7.0 7.2 7.2 9.3 14.5
percpu rseq spinlock 18.5 18.5 18.6 18.8 25.5 52.7

So looks like defining has_fast_acquire_release() to 0 could benefit the
cases with more threads in current benchmark. I will send a updated
patch doing this.

And as discussed in IRC, I will also remove jump from rseq_finish()
fast-path in powerpc asm in the updated patch as you did for x86 and
ARM.
