    Yeah, and unfortunately since I added the code for overlapping domains w/o
    adding a top level domain at the same time, we have disjoint domains by
    default on large systems.

    Yeah, but overlapping domains aren't a requirement. In fact, making the
    scheduling domains dynamically configurable is probably a *much* better
    route, since I doubt that some default overlap setup will be optimal for many
    workloads (that doesn't mean we shouldn't have good defaults though). Being
    able to configure the rebalance and tick rates of the various domains would
    also be a good thing (the defaults could be keyed off of the number of CPUs
    and/or nodes in the domain).

    Thanks,
    Jesse
