[RFC PATCH 06/16 v3] Add Workload Consolidation fields in struct sched_domain

From: Yuyang Du
Date: Fri May 30 2014 - 10:41:20 EST


Workload Consolidation is completely CPU topology and policy driven. To do so,
we define SD_WORKLOAD_CONSOLIDATION, and add some fields in sched_domain struct:

1) total_groups is the group number in total in this domain
2) group_number is this CPU's group sequence number
3) consolidating_coeff is the coefficient for consolidating CPUs, and is changeable
via sysctl tool to make consolidation more aggressive or less
4) first_group is the pointer to this domain's first group ordered by CPU number
