Granularity applies to the locking scheme in the kernel.
It is how the kernel must prevent different cors/cpus from
clobberig the same kernel global data at the same time.

Some locking schemes are coarser than others. There is
an optimal point where further granularity will decrease
performance.

I was looking for papers/studies that may have been done
to see at what degree of granularity the payoff was highest.
