I've measured the cost of excessive cross-L2 intra-L3 migrations, and while
they're not excessive, they are measurable.  This patch series introduces
some simple heuristics to reduce unnecessary migration.

As in all the Credit2 work, this is a first cut, and I'm sure there are
further improvments.
