I think you misidentify the patch. Earlier you said it that
"buffreelistlock-reduction-v1 crapped
out"  and I already said that the assumption in the code clearly
doesn't hold, implying the patch was dropped.

The removebufmgrfreelist and its alternate patch is still valid, with
applicability to special cases.

I've written another patch to assist with testing/assessment of the
problems, attached.
