For loopback netperf, it has no clear performance change on all
platforms.
For hackbench testing, it has a bit worse on 2P NHM 0.5~1%, but it is
helpful to increase about 2% on 4P(8cores * 2SMT) NHM machine.

I was thought no much cache effect on hot or cold after per cpu partial
adding. but seems for hackbench, node partial still has much effect.
