Mmap() performance dropped dramatically down to almost unusable level. Plus,
system was unusable during test: "vmstat 1" updated results every 1-2 _MINUTES_!

You need Marcelo's patch. Please apply and retest.

My box thinks quite highly of that patch fwiw, but insists that he needs
to apply Jens Axboes' blk patch first ;-)  (Not because of tiobench)
