Tuning min_interval and max_interval of various sched_domains to 1 [a]
and also setting sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us to 500 does cut down idle
time further to 2.7% ..

This is perhaps not optimal (as it may lead to more lock contentions), but 
something to note for those who care for both capping and utilization in
equal measure!
