No, I would actually prefer 'sane' ASYM_CAP semantics. With 'funny'
semantics we ended up doing capacity checks inside domain with similar
cpus for the lower domain levels which would is pointless and pure
overhead. With 'sane' semantics, we only do the check for the domain
level where asymmetric capacities are actually observed.

Yes. I will fix that in v3.
