Very nice cleanups!

Magny-Cours indeed will need one more sched-domains level, 
something like:

   [smt thread]
   core
   internal numa node
   cpu socket
   external numa node 

... which is certainly interesting, especially since the hierarchy 
possibly 'crosses', i.e. we might have the two internal numa nodes 
share a L2 or L3 cache, right?

I'd also not be surprised if the load-balancer needed some care to 
properly handle such a setup.

It's all welcome work in any case, and for .32.
