Tasty indeed.

When nohz_full CPUs are not isolated, ie are being used as generic
CPUs, get_nohz_timer_target() is a problem with things like tbench.

tbench 8 with Rik's patches applied:
nohz_full=empty
Throughput 3204.69 MB/sec  1.000
nohz_full=1-3,5-7 
Throughput 1354.99 MB/sec   .422  1.000
nohz_full=1-3,5-7 + club below 
Throughput 2762.22 MB/sec   .861  2.038

With Rik's patches and a club, tbench becomes nearly acceptable.
