But more importantly: why isn't migrate_disable/enable doing the right

Please see Peter's description of the situation in af449901b84.

While I'm not at all a fan of sprinkling migrate_disabling around code,
I didn't want to add any overhead for the common case. If this, however,
were not an issue (if most cases are async runs, for example) the ideal
solution I think would be to just pin current to the hctx->cpumask.

Thanks,
