Boy, this stuff is complicated.  Does it all work?

The Impact: lines were useful :)


I assume from the tremendous number of for_each_possible_cpu()s that
CPU hotplug awareness won't be happening.

Do we have a feeling for the amount of wastage here?  If

	num_possible_cpus() - num_online_cpus() == N

and N is large, what did it cost?

And what are reasonable values of N?
