So I tend to side with Morten on this one. I don't particularly like
ASYM_PACKING much, but we already had it for PPC and it works for the
small difference in performance ITMI has.
At the time Morten already objected to using it for ITMI, and I just
haven't had time to look into his proposal for using capacity.
But I don't see it working right for big.litte/dynamiq, simply because
it is a very strong always big preference, which is against the whole
design premisis of big.little (as Morten has been trying to argue).
