I spotted some scheduler bug in 2.3.36. I also increased the advantage of
avoiding a TLB flush. I did not benchmarks to check it's better but +1 is
way too low IMHO. Also it make a lots of sense to make it a per-arch thing
as tlb flushes hit changes across different archs (IA32 is probably one of
the most disavantaged without ASN). Now it's a define so every arch can
tune it:
