This took a while, mostly because my original schbench showed your
patches were just as fast as our internal patch, but our production
benchmark showed a 5-10% regression. My theory was just that schbench
wasn't fine grained enough, and the load would stop before the
regression kicked in.

Just to be sure; regression as per your production kernel, not vs.
mainline, right?

Sorry yes, that's correct.
