I still have a 2.6-rt problem I need to find time to squabble with, but maybe I'll soonish see if what you did plus what I did combined works out on that 4x10 core box where current is _so_ unbelievably horrible. Heck, it can't get any worse, and the restricted wake balance alone kinda sorta worked.
Actually, I flunked copy/paste 101. Below (preeti) shows the real deal.

Something is either wrong with 3.6 itself, or the config I'm using, as max throughput is nowhere near where it should be (see default). On the bright side, integrating the two does show some promise.
