1006# find_goal() and its helper do_find_goal() are used to find the best
1007# combination of interrupts in order to generate a load that is as close
1008# as possible to a goal load without falling below that goal. Before returning
1009# to its caller, find_goal() sets a new value in the hash of each interrupt,
1010# {goal}, which if set signifies that this interrupt is one of the interrupts
1011# identified as part of the set of interrupts which best meet the goal.
1012#
1013# The arguments to find_goal are a list of ivecs (hash references), sorted
1014# by descending {time}, and the goal load. The goal is relative to {time}.
1015# The best fit is determined by performing a depth-first search. do_find_goal
1016# is the recursive subroutine which carries out the search.
1017#
1018# It is passed an index as an argument, originally 0. On a given invocation,
1019# it is only to consider interrupts in the ivecs array starting at that index.
1020# It then considers two possibilities:
1021#   1) What is the best goal-fit if I include ivecs[index]?
1022#   2) What is the best goal-fit if I exclude ivecs[index]?
1023# To determine case 1, it subtracts the load of ivecs[index] from the goal,
1024# and calls itself recursively with that new goal and index++.
1025# To determine case 2, it calls itself recursively with the same goal and
1026# index++.
1027#
1028# It then compares the two results, decide which one best meets the goals,
1029# and returns the result. The return value is the best-fit's interrupt load,
1030# followed by a list of all the interrupts which make up that best-fit.
1031#
1032# As an optimization, a second array loads[] is created which mirrors ivecs[].
1033# loads[i] will equal the total loads of all ivecs[i..$#ivecs]. This is used
1034# by do_find_goal to avoid recursing all the way to the end of the ivecs
1035# array if including all remaining interrupts will still leave the best-fit
1036# at below goal load. If so, it then includes all remaining interrupts on
1037# the goal list and returns.
