weight does not work because the ids are not consecutive.  As a future 
optimization I have a patch that computes a local CPU id within the LLC
and uses that as the bitmap index, and that uses weight.  For this first
series I am keeping things simple.

Darn, suspected someone would like this identifier after I deleted it.
