The cfbot thinks this patch no longer applies, but it works for me, so
still set to RFC. It looks like it's because the thread to remove the v2
FE/BE protocol was still attached to the commitfest entry. I've deleted
that, so let's see if that helps.
To answer the side question of whether it makes any difference in
performance, I used the blackhole AM [1] to isolate the copy code path as
much as possible. Forcing lookahead seems to not make a noticeable
difference (min of 5 runs):
master:
306ms
force lookahead:
304ms
