My 8 socket 64 core DL980 running 256 copies (3.14-rt5) munches ~4%/copy
per top, and does roughly 1 sh*tload migrations, nano-work loop or not.
Turn SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES off at MC (not a noop here), and consumption
drops to ~2%/copy, and migrations ('course) mostly go away.

vogelweide:/abuild/mike/:[0]# perf stat -a -e sched:sched_migrate_task -- sleep 5

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

              3108      sched:sched_migrate_task                                    

       5.001367910 seconds time elapsed

(turns SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES back on)
