>      cpu we ran on while the thread still has affinity for the group.   This
>      can take advantage of knowledge of shared L2 or L3 caches among a
>      group of cores.
>    - When searching for the least loaded cpu find the least loaded cpu via
>      the least loaded path through the tree.  This load balances system bus
>      links, individual cache levels, and hyper-threaded/SMT cores.
>    - Make the periodic balancer recursively balance the highest and lowest
>      loaded cpu across each link.

>   Add support for cpusets:
>    - Convert the cpuset to a simple native cpumask_t while the kernel still
>      only supports cpumask.
>    - Pass the derived cpumask down through the cpu_search functions to
>      restrict the result cpus.
>    - Make the various steal functions resilient to failure since all threads
>      can not run on all cpus any longer.

>   General improvements:
>    - Precisely track the lowest priority thread on every runq with
>      tdq_setlowpri().  Before it was more advisory but this ended up having
>      pathological behaviors.
>    - Remove many #ifdef SMP conditions to simplify the code.
>    - Get rid of the old cumbersome tdq_group.  This is more naturally
>      expressed via the cpu_group tree.
