I never got any confirmation that the patches that came out of my discussions with the kernel developers were ever merged. I'm in the middle of a bunch of pgbench tests this week, and one of the things I planned to try was seeing if the behavior has changed in 2.6.28 or 2.6.29. I'm speaking about pgbench at the PostgreSQL East conference this weekend and will have an update by then (along with a new toolchain for automating large quantities of pgbench tests).
