fwiw the patch I had sent does a wakeup balance within prev_cpu's
cache_domain (and not outside). It handles the case where we don't have
any idle cpu/core within prev_cpu's cache domain, in which case we look
for next best thing (least loaded cpu). I did see good numbers with that
(for both my benchmark and sysbench).

More on this later in the day ..
