Nah, I meant claiming an idle cpu with cmpxchg(). It's mostly the
average load business that leads to premature stacking though, the
reservation thingy more or less just wastes cycles. Only whacking
cfs_rq_runnable_load_avg() with a rock makes schbench -m <sockets> -t
<near socket size> -a work well. 'Course a rock in its gearbox also
rendered load balancing fairly busted for the general case :)
