I don't see that the wake_wide() change has any effect here. None of the
sched domains has SD_BALANCE_WAKE set so a wakeup (WF_TTWU) can never
end up in the slow path.
Have you seen a diff when running your `lmbench stream` workload in what
wake_wide() returns when you use `sd cluster size` instead of `sd llc
size` as factor?

I guess for you, wakeups are now subdivided into faster (cluster = 4
CPUs) and fast (llc = 24 CPUs) via sis(), not into fast (sis()) and slow
(find_idlest_cpu()).

So you changed from scanning cluster before LLC to scan either cluster
or LLC.

And this is based on whether `this_cpu` and `prev_cpu` are sharing LLC
or not. So you only see an effect when running the workload with
`numactl -N X ...`.
