Two high frequency idle enter/exit suckage spots:

1) nohz (tick) - it's expensive to start/stop tick on every micro-idle,
throttle it or something.

2) ondemand governor - tweak silly default settings to reflect the
reality that we routinely schedule communicating threads cross core.

(3. seek/destroy fastpath cycles, damn things multiply over time)
