[RFC PATCH V2 05/19] sched: add sysfs interface for sched_balance_policy selection

[Preeti U Murthy]

From: Alex Shi <alex.shi@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch add the power aware scheduler knob into sysfs:

$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/available_sched_balance_policy
performance powersaving
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy
powersaving

This means the using sched balance policy is 'powersaving'.

User can change the policy by commend 'echo':
 echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy
