This particular patch is still beging discussed on the LKML. This is the
latest submission with improved variable naming, increased threshold and
changes to the log and the warning message (as proposed by tglx):
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240122172350.GA740@incl/
Especially the change to the message is important. I think this message
will be commonplace on 8 NUMA node (and larger) machines. If there is
anything else I can do to assist please let me know.
