The other half still seems to be related to the emulation faults 
that I fixed in the other patch:

>      0.49%  [kernel]          [k] page_fault

Plus TLB flush costs:

>      0.08%  [kernel]          [k] flush_tlb_func

for which you should try the third patch I sent.

So please try all my fixes - the easiest way to do that would be 
to try the latest tip:master that has all related fixes 
integrated and send me a new perf top output - most page fault 
and TLB flush overhead should be gone from the profile.

Thanks,

	Ingo
