OK, so while this all sounds great its horrible broken.. there's no
guarantee the selected cpu actually gets to balance the domain for it
might never reach as high in its own balance pass since by then it might
not be the least loaded anymore.
Will have to poke at this more tomorrow, but from what my tired brain
makes of it there's nothing but a straight revert (and probably similar
for the next patch).
