[RFC PATCH] sched: dynamically schedule domain configuration

[Michael Wang]

From: Michael Wang <wangyun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is trying to provide a way for user to dynamically change
the behaviour of load balance by setting flags of schedule domain.

Currently it's rely on cpu cgroup and only SD_LOAD_BALANCE was
implemented, usage:

1. /sys/fs/cgroup/domain/domain.config_level
	the default config_level is 0, which means we currenlty configure
	the sibling domain for all cpus, we can use: 
		echo 'number' > /sys/fs/cgroup/domain/domain.config_level
	to change the level.

2. /sys/fs/cgroup/domain/domain.topology
	this will help to show the SD_LOAD_BALANCE status of all the cpu's
	all domain level, we can use:
		cat /sys/fs/cgroup/domain/domain.topology

3. /sys/fs/cgroup/domain/domain.SD_LOAD_BALANCE
	this will help us to change the bit SD_LOAD_BALANCE in the flag of
	schedule domain on level 'config_level', we can use:
		echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/domain/domain.SD_LOAD_BALANCE
	to enable this bit, and:
		echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/domain/domain.SD_LOAD_BALANCE
	to disable it.

It may not works well now(may be even not work at all as I can't see any
changes on my server even after disabled SD_LOAD_BALANCE on all domains),
but it is interesting and should be liked by some people who desire a
way to 'kill' the load balance by their own hands if we can implement it.

Comments and questions are very welcomed ;-)
