OK, so let's see. All domains with SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES set will have
imb_numa_nr = 0, all domains above it will have the same value
calculated here.

So far so good I suppose :-)

Then nr_groups is what it says on the tin; we could've equally well
iterated sd->groups and gotten the same number, but this is simpler.

Now, imb_numa_nr is where the magic happens, the way it's written
doesn't help, but it's something like:

(child->span_weight / 2) / (nr_groups * num_online_nodes())

With a minimum value of 1. So the larger the system is, or the smaller
the LLCs, the smaller this number gets, right?

So my ivb-ep that has 20 cpus in a LLC and 2 nodes, will get: (20 / 2)
/ (1 * 2) = 10, while the ivb-ex will get: (20/2) / (1*4) = 5.

But a Zen box that has only like 4 CPUs per LLC will have 1, regardless
of how many nodes it has.

Now, I'm thinking this assumes (fairly reasonable) that the level above
LLC is a node, but I don't think we need to assume this, while also not
assuming the balance domain spans the whole machine (yay paritions!).

for (top = sd; top->parent; top = top->parent)
;

nr_llcs = top->span_weight / child->span_weight;
imb_numa_nr = max(1, child->span_weight / nr_llcs);

which for my ivb-ep gets me: 20 / (40 / 20) = 10
and the Zen system will have: 4 / (huge number) = 1

Now, the exp: a / (b / a) is equivalent to a * (a / b) or a^2/b, so we
can also write the above as:

(child->span_weight * child->span_weight) / top->span_weight;

Hmm?
