How do you move specific groups to different cpus.  Is this simply using 
cpusets?

Just to make sure I understand what's going on...this is half of 1024 
because it shows up on both cpus?

This gets the full 1024 because it's only on one cpu.

How do we get 2048?  Shouldn't this be 1024?

At this point the numbers make sense, but I'm not sure how the formula 
for h_load_ works given that I'm not sure what's going on for rw_.
