Not sure there's much to say that isn't already said..

As it stands nobody cares (as evident by the total lack of progress
since the last time this all came up), so I've just queued the below
patch.

Subject: sched: Remove all power aware scheduling
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:28:35 +0100

Its been broken forever and nobody cares enough to fix it proper..
remove it.

- 0 - No power saving load balance (default value)
- 1 - Fill one thread/core/package first for long running threads
