+Make sure we disable preemption in try_to_wake_up and when changing the cpu
+in set_cpus_allowed_ptr.
+
+Rework the change in rr_interval with number of cpus to not go up quite so
+quickly, scaling only by 50% every doubling of CPUs for better interactivity
+on multicore machines. Throughput did not appear to decrease measurably with
+this change.
