Right, I've never said that power aware balancing was without merit, I
know it matters (quite a lot for some).

Sure, it was the only interface available.

But I really want to get rid of the topology based knobs we have now,
preferably I even want to get rid of the multi-value thing.

pjt still needs to post his linsched rework *poke* *poke*, that should
give a good basis to rework most of this without regressing the world
and then some.

But even without that I think we can do better than we do currently.
