dcache RCU reduces system time for kernel compile by 10%

[Martin J. Bligh]

Installing dcache rcu drops system time for a kernel compile
from 52.7s to 47.3s - a little better than 10% reduction.
Total elapsed time doesn't change much, but I think this is
due to the lack of parallelism in the benchmark ... I need to
start running 32 parallel kernel compiles ;-)

Results were from a 16 cpu NUMA-Q. Comparison done on 2.5.36-mm1
