Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/10] Reduce system disruption due to kswapd V2

One additional measure that may be useful is to make kswapd prefer one
specific processor on a socket. Two benefits arise from that:

1. Better use of cpu caches and therefore higher speed, less
serialization.

2. Reduction of the disturbances to one processor.
