That lkml.org link is actually not working for me (blank page -- maybe
lkml.org is on the blink again).

That said, I yet have to sit down and think about the P state stuff, but
I was thinking we need some rudimentary domain support for that.

For instance, the big-little thingies seem share their P state per
cluster, so we need a domain at that level to hang some state off of --
which we actually have in this case. But we need to ensure we do have
it -- somehow.
