Initial indications are that it offers no performance advantage over objrmap.
This needs a lot more work. Timings were on a 2.7G P4-HT. The workload is
applying and removing the 125 patches in 2.5.65-mm. Tons of bash forking.
Note that on uniprocessor kernels we're almost equal to 2.4. But on SMP, 2.5
is way slower.
The profiles are all over the place because the readprofile -M option (which
I use to boost the profiler interrupt rate by ten) isn't working on UP+APIC
2.5 kernels for some reason.
This all needs to be redone with oprofile, find out what on earth is going
on.
