641415 - Run a Tp test on some tinderboxen using the pageset from Standalone Talos

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

We haven't had a Tp test running since boxset died sometime in 2009, mainly because between cb-xserve01 dying and getting reimaged over and over and boxset dying, we lost the pageset (Sam pulled the whole Tp apparatus off of boxset for me at one point shortly before we lost boxset for good, but all but 3 of the pages were 0 bytes when they got to me).

In bug 635838, cpeterso discovered that our pageload times had really started to suck.  However, we discovered that Standalone Talos comes with a small pageset (about 20 pages, iirc); while we can't use any of the Talos architecture, we ought to be able to steal the pageset.

We should get some of our tinderboxen running a Tp test again (either Tp or Tp2 can be run from tinderbox/madhatter, and at-a-glance from bugs it looks like Tp2 _should_ output a comprable results format to Tp) using the pageset from standalone Talos; it should involve remembering the filesystem layout setup and munging the pageset list to use the pages from the standalone Talos pageset.
