11 is no longer needed, but AFAICT we still need 12 - we don't want
PREFER_SIBLING to interfere with asymmetric systems.

Also, I've been playing around with a patch to modify 5 (the nohz kicks) that
first scans the capacity of nohz CPUs before doing any kick (pretty much like
what asym packing is doing with nohz CPU priority), do you want me to toss
it your way? I haven't done run any tests with it yet...

Cheers,
Valentin
