Ah, right.

No, I didn't. I was just confused about which part became
synchronous. So, I don't have anything against making the cpu part
synchronous, but let's not do that as the fix to the deadlocks cuz,
while we can avoid them by changing cpuset, I don't think cpuset is
the root cause for them. If there are benefits to making cpuset cpu
migration synchronous, let's do that for those benefits.

Thanks.
