Both my patch and Peter's patch cause issues with low cpu machines. In
<20161004201105.GP16071@codeblueprint.co.uk> I said,

 "This patch causes some low cpu machines (4 or 8) to regress. It turns
  out they regress with my patch too."

Have I misunderstood your question?

I ran out of time to investigate this last week, though I did try all
proposed patches, including Vincent's, and none of them produced wins
across the board.

I should get a bit further this week.

Vincent, Dietmar, did you guys ever get around to submitting your PELT
tracepoint patches? Getting some introspection into the scheduler's
load balancing decisions would speed up this sort of research.
