Good.

Bad.
Note: I had to apply the vdso2c.h patch to build this -rc3 based kernel:
diff --git a/arch/x86/vdso/vdso2c.h b/arch/x86/vdso/vdso2c.h

Results: fio started OK, getting 900K IOPS, but ^C led to 0 IOPS and
an fio hang, with one CPU (CPU 0) stuck in io_submit loops.
perf top shows lookup_ioctx function alongside io_submit and
do_io_submit this time:
