note that no matter how much scheduler logic, in the end
cross-scheduling of tasks between nodes on NUMA will always have a
permanent penalty (i.e. the 'migration cost' is 'infinity' in the long
run), so the primary focus _hast to be_ on 'get it right initially' When
tasks must spill over to other nodes will always remain a special case.
So balance-on-fork/exec/[clone] definitely needs to be aware of the full
domain tree picture.
