[PATCH v2 7/7] sched: powerpc: Add SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN for SMT level

From: Vincent Guittot
Date: Tue Mar 18 2014 - 13:58:39 EST


Set the power domain dependency at SMT level of Power8 but keep the flag
clear at CPU level. The goal is to consolidate tasks on the threads of a
core up to a level as decribed in the link below:
