VMManager: Refactor Affinity Control to Thread Pinning
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Instead of having control over specific threads, thread pinning puts the
EE/VU/GS threads on the most performant cores, then the software threads
on the remaining cores, but only if they're in the same cluster.

This way we don't end up pinning across clusters with different
performance characteristics, which would harm instead of help software
renderer performance.

Also unpins on shutdown, that way we don't keep CPU cores awake.
