(facepalm)
Thanks for setting me right.

Anyway, I did a test with the 2.6.18-93.el5.bz444759 kernel and there's 
no difference: 65 minutes, 27 MB/s. Looks like it doesn't matter which 
kernel I use, at least for this simple test with dd.

I wonder if a test closer to real life, such as reading/writing stuff 
from/to MySQL, would produce different results. I guess there's only one 
way to find out. ;-)

That would be nice.
