That little ORDER_IDLE thing hurts silly. That's a little patch I had
lying about because some people complained that tasks hop around the
cache domain, instead of being stuck to a CPU.
I suspect what happens is that by all CPUs starting to look for idle at
the same place (the first cpu in the domain) they all find the same idle
cpu and things pile up.
The old behaviour, where they all start iterating from where they were
avoids some of that, at the cost of making tasks hop around.
Lets see if I can get the same behaviour out of the cpumask iteration
code..
