You seem to be under the impression that "Intel" is some monolithic
entity.  Despite working with six different storage & performance
groups within Intel, I have no idea what record you're referring to,
nor what hardware it was accomplished with.  Even if I did, I wouldn't
know which group within Intel to contact to see if they still have
the setup.  Then I'd have to convince them that it's in their interest
to try to replicate this on Linux.  And I'd have to be prepared to sink
a considerable quantity of my time into it ... which I don't have.
