But we should already do this because the load numbers are scaled with
the power/capacity figures. If one CPU gets significant less time to run
fair tasks, its effective load would spike and it'd get to be selected
here anyway.

Or am I missing something?

OK, so there you're kicking the idle balancer to try and get another CPU
to pull some load? That makes sense I suppose.

That function is pretty horrible though; how about something like this
first?
