[patch 00/16] sched: per-entity load-tracking

[pjt]

Hi all,

Please find attached the latest version for CFS load-tracking.

It implements load-tracking on a per-sched_entity (currently SCHED_NORMAL, but
could be extended to RT as well) basis. This results in a bottom-up
load-computation in which entities contribute to their parents' load, as
opposed to the current top-down where the parent averages its children.  In
particular this allows us to correctly migrate load with their accompanying
entities and provides the necessary inputs for intelligent load-balancing and
power-management.

We've been running this internally for some time now and modulo any gremlins
from rebasing it, I think things have been shaken out and we're touching
mergeable state.

Special thanks to Namhyung Kim and Peter Zijlstra for comments on the last
round series.
