Imagine you own a 8192 CPU box for a moment, all CPUs having one pinned
task, plus one extra unpinned task, and ponder what would have to happen
in order to meet your utilization expectation. <time passes> Right.

What you're seeing is not a bug. No task can occupy more than one CPU
at a time, making space reservation on multiple CPUs a very bad idea.
