The same is true of all your arguments about Mel's numbers wrt THP

you yourself didn't think things through. For schednuma, it's not
enough to be par with mainline with THP off - the competition
(autonuma) has been beating mainline soundly in Mel's configuration.
So the target to beat is not mainline, but the much *higher*
performance that autonuma got.

Once the numa base patches are upstream, the bar will be raised
automatically.

With the same infrastructure in place, we will be able to do
an apples to apples comparison of the NUMA placement policies,
and figure out which one will be the best to merge.
