[PATCH 10/15] sched: Check for sched_mn_power_savings when doingload balancing

From: Andreas Herrmann
Date: Thu Aug 20 2009 - 09:41:24 EST



The patch adds support for POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_BASIC for MN domain
level. Currently POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_WAKEUP is not used for MN domain.

(I have to admit that so far I don't have the correct understanding
what's the benefit of POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_WAKEUP (when an deticated
wakeup CPU is used) in contrast to POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_BASIC. I also
have not found an example that would demonstrate the difference
between those two powersaving levels.)
