That's a great paper, I enjoyed reading it. I would almost suggest forwarding it to the LKML, expecially the part about dd cache spoiling. Good benchmarks can impact the way kernel developers think. You never know, with a good benchmark to show a specific problem, you might find a fix for that dd spoiling soon. :)
