So I found myself a dual-socket Xeon Gold 5120 @ 2.20GHz (64 CPUs) and
*there* I get a somewhat consistent ~-6% regression. As I'm suspecting
cacheline shenanigans, I also ran that with Peter's recent
kthread_is_per_cpu() change, and that brings it down to ~-3%

I'll leave it at here for today, but at least that's something I can work
with.
