Okay, here we go. I recorded 24 hours worth of the extfrag tracepoint,
filtered to fallbacks from unmovable requests to movable blocks. I've
uploaded the plot here:

http://cmpxchg.org/antifrag/fallbackrate.png

but this already speaks for itself:

11G     alloc-mtfallback.trace
3.3G    alloc-mtfallback-patched.trace

;)

After a week of uptime, the patched (b) kernel has more movable blocks
than vanilla 4.10-rc8 (a):

   Number of blocks type     Unmovable      Movable  Reclaimable   HighAtomic          CMA      Isolate

a: Node 1, zone   Normal         2017        29763          987            1            0            0
b: Node 1, zone   Normal         1264        30850          653            1            0            0

I sampled this somewhat sporadically over the week and it's been
reading reliably this way.

The patched kernel also consistently beats vanilla in terms of peak
job throughput.

Overall very cool!
