after much searching on how you guys run hackbench... I figured
something like:

  perf bench sched messaging -g 20 --thread -l 60000

on my IVB-EP (2*10*2) is similar to your IVT thing.

And running something like:

  for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor ; do echo performance > $i ; done
  perf stat --null --repeat 10 -- perf bench sched messaging -g 20 --thread -l 60000 | grep "seconds time elapsed"

gets me:

v4.6:

      36.786914089 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.49% )
      37.054017355 seconds time elapsed ( +-  1.05% )


origin/master (v4.7-rc1-ish):

      34.757435264 seconds time elapsed ( +-  3.34% )
      35.396252515 seconds time elapsed ( +-  3.38% )


Which doesn't show a regression between v4.6 and HEAD; in fact it shows
an improvement.
