Thank you very much. I believe it also has some small contribution to
keeping idle CPUs idle in a multi-core system. I consider this my
personal carbon offset effort :-)

My current plan is to take a look at each invocation of on_each_cpu in
core kernel code and see if it makes sense to give it a similar
treatment.

Thanks,
Gilad
