kvm -smp 4 -m 4G -display none -monitor null -serial stdio -kernel
defconfig-build/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -append "sched_debug debug
ignore_loglevel earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200,keep
numa=fake=4:10,20,30,20,20,10,20,30,30,20,10,20,20,30,20,10,0"

(FWIW, that's defconfig+kvmconfig+SCHED_DEBUG=y+NUMA_EMU=y)

Gives me:

With patches it looks like:

Now let me try and reverse engineer those patches ..
