This series addresses a performance problem which we seem to be
experiencing with the existing osstest resource planner in Xen Project
test colo.  The current setup it can leave hosts idle for too long
before getting around to allocating them to test jobs.

The full explanation of the new algorithm is in the commit message for
13/13.

I have not executed this series yet.  Testing it is not all that easy
because this code operates only in infrastructure mode, and most of
the code is in the central queue daemon and not subject to the osstest
self-push-gate.

I intend, after a first round of review, to test this fully on the
Citrix Cambridge osstest instance.
