Very glad to see you being back, Ingo! :)

This patch set is following my power aware scheduling patchset. But for
a separate workable runnable load engaged balancing. only needs the
other 3 patches, that already sent you at another patchset

[patch v4 06/18] sched: give initial value for runnable avg of sched
[patch v4 07/18] sched: set initial load avg of new forked task
[patch v4 08/18] Revert "sched: Introduce temporary FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
