reading again the thread I realized Shaun is using
fusionIO driver and he said that the regression is due
to "some recent 3.2 kernel patch borks the driver in
some horrible way".

so maybe you're not on the same boat (since you're
using intel 320), or maybe the kernel regression
he's referring to is related to the kernel subsystem
that deal with ssd disks independently from brands.
In the latter case testing a different kernel would be worthy.
