NUMA systems will trigger the new code - not just 'weird NUMA
systems' - but i still think we could try the patches, the code looks
straightforward and i booted them on NUMA systems and it all seems
fine so far.
Anyway, i'll push the new sched/urgent branch out in a few minutes
and then you'll see the full patches in the commit notifications.
Thanks,
Ingo
