Oh, another change is that in the later kernels the scheduler also
correctly does the "tq_scheduler" bottom half processing, which earlier
2.1.x kernels didn't do because I couldn't handle the kernel lock
correctly. That may or may not make a difference.
This might be it. A nice experiment owuld be to rerun the benchmark
with the tq_scheduler related code ifdef'd out from the scheduler
proper.
