Re: [PATCH] anobjrmap 1/6 objrmap

Well, I'm pleased to say not only is your code stable in my tests, it's
also faster than partial objrmap (not by that much, but definitely
measurable). And of course, the code's cleaner. Kernbench & SDET are both
heavy on fork/exec/exit, so this should give these paths a heavy workout.
(this was on 16-way NUMA-Q).

Andrea, are you still working on your code at the moment, or is it ready
for others to play with? I'll make a run at that as well if you say it's
ready, though I think I might have lost track of the latest version ;-)
