Ok, so, configuration:


Socket-1				Socket-2

pinned thread-A with			100% L3 free
80% of L3 
reserved


So it is a problem if a thread running on socket-2 is scheduled to 
socket-1 because performance is radically different, fine.

Then one way to avoid that is to not allow freely migratable tasks
to move to Socket-1. Fine.

Then you want to use cpusets for that.

Can you fill in the blanks what is missing here?
