It actually seems a fraction slower (see systimes for Kernbench-16,
for instance).

Kernbench-2: (make -j N vmlinux, where N = 2 x num_cpus)
                              Elapsed User System CPU
              2.5.62-mjb3 43.92 557.65 94.12 1483.50
         2.5.62-mjb3-andi 44.28 557.90 95.79 1475.67

Kernbench-16: (make -j N vmlinux, where N = 16 x num_cpus)
                              Elapsed User System CPU
              2.5.62-mjb3 45.21 560.46 114.58 1492.67
         2.5.62-mjb3-andi 45.39 561.29 117.73 1495.67

Diffprofile (+ worse with your patch, - better)

       500 3.1% total
       138 6.9% .text.lock.file_table
       103 2.2% default_idle
        73 9.3% d_lookup
        50 11.0% __copy_to_user_ll
        45 27.4% file_move
        40 28.2% path_lookup
...
        -7 -3.9% do_schedule
        -9 -2.0% get_empty_filp
       -10 -8.6% dput
       -10 -9.8% link_path_walk

That text.lock.file_table has been bugging me for a bit, and I need to
drill down into it some more.
