No, I didn't notice a thing.  That's not surprising given the amount of
scheduling going on.  The stack depth surprised me a bit though.

That CPU# on the end is task_cpu(). Lord knows why X wakes all those,
but with no SD_BALANCE_WAKE, a busy box and all those having last lived
on waker's CPU, the resulting construct.. probably doesn't very closely
resemble what the programmer had in mind when threading.
