Oh, foolish mistake...sorry

Yes. I will describe it in a clear way in the next patchset.

You mean the test results on powerNV?

yes, I make a kernel build with !SHARED_PROCESSOR.
and do perf tests and scheduler tests on same machine(32 cpus). performance is better than current spinlock

  _____test________________spinlock________________qspinlock_____
  |futex hash	|	533060 ops	|	541513 ops	|
  |futex lock-pi	|	357 ops		|	356 ops		|


  _____test________________spinlock________________qspinlock_____
  |schedule() loops|	337691713 	|	361935207	|


NOTE: I have updated the scheduler test tools, and the new performance test results show that both pv-spinlock and qspinlock is better than current spinlock.
I will also update the test result in my next patchset.

thanks
xinhui
