IIRC, you said that your proposed system should have one oslet per about 4
CPUs. And I see many people claiming that current Linux locking is aimed
at being good with about 4 CPUs.

Maybe I'm dense, but it seems to me that means current Linux locking is
aimed at exactly the spot where you argue it should be aimed *anyway*.
