[PATCH RFC v2 1/4] arm: Frequency invariant scheduler load-tracking support

[Michael Turquette]

From: Morten Rasmussen <Morten.Rasmussen@xxxxxxx>

Implements arch-specific function to provide the scheduler with a
frequency scaling correction factor for more accurate load-tracking. The
factor is:

	current_freq(cpu) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT / max_freq(cpu)

This implementation only provides frequency invariance. No
micro-architecture invariance yet.
