Whiteboard

we have at least 3 different solutions for decreasing core load:
 -sched_mc and sched_smt with load balancing
 -cgroup + cpuset
 -cpu hotplug

* define the power saving level targeted by sched_mc
* check if the current policy matches the targeted power saving level

these work items were moved to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-pm-wg/+spec/sched-mc-for-arm
[vincent-guittot] define the cpu load target for which Arm platform should run on 1 core : TODO
[vincent-guittot] compare load balancing threshold and one core cpu load target in power mode : TODO
[linaro-pm-wg] consider re-opening discussion around power-aware scheduler on LKML : TODO

(?)
