    In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
    root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.



After I manually reverted the patch against 2.6.26-rc1 while fixing a couple of
conflictions/errors, sysbench oltp regression became less than 3% on 8-core
stoakley.
