This patch creates /proc/sys/kernel/proc_change_penalty and
/proc/sys/kernel/tlb_flush_penalty as discussed before.
It's a first-pass it-compiles patch. The patch itself is pretty simple
so I can't imagine any real issues with it, but I haven't slept in a
couple of days so I wouldn't be surprised if a few braino's slipped in.
For anyone and everyone that would like to penalize process migration
more or less or want to tune the heuristic for TLB flush penalty, give
it a shot and see if you can produce some good numbers, esp. ones that
show a nice maximum point (and note your hardware :) Getting some better
default numbers for these two values, as Andrea correctly points out,
is something that should be around for 2.4.0
