If the processor can be core gated, then there is very little power
savings that we could yield from consolidating all the load onto a
single node in a NUMA domain. 6 cores on one node or 3 cores each on two
nodes, the power is drawn by 6 cores in all. So I was thinking under
this circumstance we might want to set the SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN flag at
the NUMA domain and spread the load if it favours the workload.
