Peter Zijlstra 15afe09bf4 sched: wakeup preempt when small overlap
Lin Ming reported a 10% OLTP regression against 2.6.27-rc4.

The difference seems to come from different preemption agressiveness,
which affects the cache footprint of the workload and its effective
cache trashing.

Aggresively preempt a task if its avg overlap is very small, this should
avoid the task going to sleep and find it still running when we schedule
back to it - saving a wakeup.
