I'm eyeing a v3.8 merge... modulo unforeseen problems. This has 
been going on for way too long.

numa/core performs very well, and the rest can be done 
iteratively.

The mm/ bits changed very little due to the latest rounds of 
review. Most of the discussion centered around specific 
implementational details and naming - and where we were wrong I 
changed the code - numa/core sums up the consensus so far.

If I missed anything let me know and I'll fix the code ASAP ...

Thanks,

	Ingo
