Yeah I didn't like that because of the overhead. But I was being
optimistic that the cpu weight function would be a nit to the actual
pull logic. But I have a better plan.
I would like to disable RT_PUSH_IPI, but that's a sched feature and
that is a constant if we build without sched debugging.
v2 coming up.
