Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.  Removing the check for vcpus
on the runqueue may actually be functionally equivalent to removing
the check altogether.

I guess part of the thought might be that we don't want to have a
single cpu running for a really long time without other cpus getting a
chance to run at all.  But in order for "weight" to have any meaning,
sometimes a cpu will have to get a long time to run.

What workload are you running -- is it just while(1); loops?
