Peter, Ingo,

do you have any comments on the performance measurements
by Mel?

Any ideas on how to fix sched/numa or numa/core?

At this point, I suspect the easiest way forward might be
to merge the basic infrastructure from Mel's combined
tree (in -mm? in -tip?), so we can experiment with different
NUMA placement policies on top.

That way we can do apples to apples comparison of the
policies, and figure out what works best, and why.
