[RFC][PATCH 5/9] sched: Make idle_balance() skip cpus with a cpu_power of 1

From: Morten Rasmussen
Date: Tue Jul 09 2013 - 11:58:22 EST


idle_balance() should disregard cpus disabled by the power scheduler.

This is a quick fix. idle_balance() should be revisit to implement proper
handling of cpus with cpu_power=1.
