From: Anton Blanchard <an...@samba.org> The core of snooze_loop() continually bounces between low and very low thread priority. Changing thread priorities is an expensive operation that can negatively impact other threads on a core.
All CPUs that can run PowerNV support very low priority, so we can avoid the change completely.
