I briefly glanced at the git history but didn't find any proper description
of that stat. As it stands, it counts the number of times wake_affine()
purposedly steered a task towards a particular CPU (waker or wakee's prev),
so nr_wakeups_affine / nr_wakeups_affine_attempts is your wake_affine()
"success rate" - how often could it make a choice with the available data.
I could see a point in only incrementing the count if wake_affine() steers
towards the waker rather than the wakee (i.e. don't increment if choice is
prev), but then that has no link with LLC spans

Per the above, why? Why not just if(target == this_cpu) ?
