Sorry, I still don't understand. There are many "if (sd->flags & SD_XXX)"
in fair.c. What does it mean to you?

Probably you mean the SD_XX should be fixed in init and never changed via sysctl
thereafter. Ah... I don't know about this...

Overall, I think I should come up with a better way to implement the SD_WORKLOAD_CONSOLIDATION
policy (enabled or disabled) in load balancing (as is also pointed out by PeterZ).
But I just don't see the current implementation is any particular different than
any other SD_XX's.

Have you tried it on your platform?

Thanks a lot,
Yuyang
