No,.. that's the wrong way around.
Also any suggestions on how to get rid of __prandom_timer events on such CPUs?
That looks to be a normal unpinned timer, it should migrate to a 'busy' cpu once the one its running on it going idle.
ISTR people trying to make that active and also migrating on nohz full or somesuch, just like the workqueues. Forgot what happened with that; if it got dropped it should probably be ressurected.
