    kernel - usched_dfly revamp
    
    * NOTE: This introduces a few regressions at high loads.  They've been
      identified and will be fixed in another iteration.
    
      We've identified an issue with weight2.  When weight2 successfully
      schedules a process pair on the same cpu it can lead to inefficiencies
      elsewhere in the scheduler related to user-mode and kernel-mode
      priority switching.  In this situation testing pgbench/postgres pairs
      (e.g. -j $ncpus -c $ncpus) we sometimes see some serious regressions on
      multi-socket machines, and other times see remarkably high performance.
    
    * Fix a reported panic.
    
    * Revamp the weights and algorithms signficantly.  Fix algorithmic errors
      and improve the accuracy of weight3.  Add weight4 which basically tells
      the scheduler to try harder to find a free cpu to schedule the lwp on
      when the current cpu is busy doing something else.
