Here is some statistics without likely and with likely functions.
It seems that using likely() gives better performance with Phenom I too.
% Plain knl % No likely % With likely %
dvb_ringbuffer_write 5,9 62,8 8,7 81,3 5,7 79,2
dvb_dmx_swfilter_packet 1,2 12,8 0,7 6,5 0,8 11,1
dvb_dmx_swfilter_204 2,3 24,5 1,3 12,1 0,7 9,7
Here "Plain knl %" is "perf top -d 30" percentage.
24,5 12,1 and 9,7 are percentages without a patch, with basic patch
and last is with "likely" functions using patch.
