commit 14800984706bf6936bbec5187f736e928be5c218
Author: Mike Galbraith <efault@xxxxxx>
Date: Fri Nov 7 15:26:50 2008 +0100

Reverting this patch for now since this affects
consolidation and power savings. Will rework
this tuning in the next iteration.

Tune SD_MC_INIT the same way as SD_CPU_INIT:
unset SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE, and set SD_WAKE_BALANCE.

This improves vmark by 5%:
