Actually, it is wrong, so nack.
You didn't take into account that balance_interval may have changed,
and so might the idle status.
Hmmmm... We change the point at which we calculate the interval relative
to load balancing. So move it after the load balance. This also avoids
having to do the calculation if the sched_domain has not expired.
That still doesn't take into account if the CPU goes idle/busy during
the interval.
Want a new rollup/testing cycle for all of this?
