Interesting if you want the same pre-built kernel should be used for
both Server and Desktop workloads.

+ bool "Core Scheduling for SMT"
+ default y
+ depends on SCHED_SMT
+ help
+ This option permits Core Scheduling, a means of coordinated task
+ selection across SMT siblings. When enabled -- see
+ prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE) -- task selection ensures that all SMT siblings
+ will execute a task from the same 'core group', forcing idle when no
+ matching task is found.
+
+ Use of this feature includes:
+ - mitigation of some (not all) SMT side channels;
+ - limiting SMT interference to improve determinism and/or performance.
+
+ SCHED_CORE is default enabled when SCHED_SMT is enabled -- when
+ unused there should be no impact on performance.
