Ok, I had PREEMPT enabled so we differ on that at least. I don't know if
it would be enough to hide the problems that led to the JVM crashing on
me for the latest version of numacore or not.

I would expect balancenuma to be closer to mainline than autonuma, whatever
about numacore which I get mixed results for. balancenumas objective was
not to be the best, it was meant to be a baseline that either autonuma
or numacore could compete based on scheduler policies for while the MM
portions would be common to either. If I thought otherwise I would have
spent the last 2 weeks working on the scheduler aspects which would have
been generally unhelpful.
