Description 
that on x86 the default value of nosteal_nsec is -1. Looking in the post-PG
code it seems that there is a new function cmp_set_nosteal_interval which is supposed
to set it to the real value, but it is never called by x86 code.

As a result nosteal_nsec is set to -1 and sticky scheduler is, effectively, disabled
on x86.
Needed for SFO project.

A fix is in test.

snv_69 is missing support.  Note nosteal_nsec is -1:

0xffffffffffffffff
