Thanks for the testings. I'm refining the patch according to Mel's suggestion and
will send it out later. Some minor nits below.

Maybe I understand it incorrectly, here we changed the value of nr. Then if
we did not find any idle CPU in the cluster, nr is set to 0. Then in the LLC scan,
since there is 'if (--nr <= 0)', the LLC scan terminates.
Is the policy like: if we can not find one idle CPU in the cluster, we give
up scan for one in the LLC?

May I know the reason to change this? I thought this could be a seperate patch.
