I did a complete test run with 4.0.0-rc3, the two patches from this thread (fs-locks-v10), the spinlock_t conversion (lglock-v0) and fs-locks-v10 and lglock-v0 combined. Some of the test take rather long on my machine (12 minutes per run) so I tweaked it a bit to get more samples. Each test was run 100 times.
