What's this one?  Couldn't find it as a broken-out patch.

The `-' means it was removed from the patchset.  Linus merged it.
See  2.5.34/2.5.34-mm1/broken-out/sleeping-release_page.patch

On the nonblocking vm front, does it rule or suck?

It rules, until someone finds something at which it sucks.

 I heard you
mention, on the one hand, huge speedups on some load (dbench I think)
but your in-patch comments mention slowdown by 1.7X on kernel
compile.

You misread.  Relative times for running `make -j6 bzImage' with mem=512m:

Unloaded system:		                     1.0
2.5.34-mm4, while running 4 x `dbench 100'           1.7
Any other kernel while running 4 x `dbench 100'      basically infinity
