Agreed that once the first cluster is overutilized, the load will
definitely spread to both clusters. My concern though is that for this
to occur, the first cluster will likely be pushed to a high OPP. For
power (and even perhaps performance) spreading the load earlier may be
better. Or not, my observation is really just that we're encoding policy
here which ideally would be the result of calculations in the energy model.
