OK, Reese, I'm kind of scared to try to push you this path. I don't
think you have a SPI programmer if things go wrong.
I think it would make more sense if we solve the problem of "Why does
the kernel schedule a VM onto a core that can't do it?"
I've made some pretty good progress here ... can I interest you in
some kernel hacking instead? I will feel pretty bad if you brick your
shiny new laptop.
