[RFC PATCH 12/12 v2] Intercept RT scheduler

From: Yuyang Du
Date: Sun May 11 2014 - 22:23:13 EST


We intercept load balancing to contain the load and load balancing in
the consolidated CPUs according to our consolidating mechanism.

In RT scheduler, we also skip pulling/selecting task to the idle
non-consolidated CPUs. This is pretty provocative.
