Sigh. That's because it was the same kernel. Again, with feeling:

4.20.0-rc7-00048-g9274254:
   read: IOPS=3D28.6k, BW=3D224MiB/s (235MB/s)(11.2GiB/51276msec)
  write: IOPS=3D12.3k, BW=3D95.8MiB/s (100MB/s)(4914MiB/51276msec)

4.20.0-rc7-00049-ga4dea15:
   read: IOPS=3D27.2k, BW=3D212MiB/s (223MB/s)(11.2GiB/53979msec)
  write: IOPS=3D11.7k, BW=3D91.1MiB/s (95.5MB/s)(4917MiB/53979msec)
