FWIW making the select_idle_core() thing iterate in the old style (start
at target and wrap around) did bring an improvement, even in the face of
has_idle_cores; it shrank the hole between OLD_IDLE and
IDLE_CORES+IDLE_SMT (my variant of your #if 1 thing), but did not
completely eliminate it (for sysbench-psql-oltp).
