[RFC PATCH 10/11] sched: Refactor the power savings balance code.

From: Gautham R Shenoy
Date: Wed Mar 25 2009 - 05:17:51 EST


Create seperate helper functions to initialize the power-savings-balance
related variables, to update them and to check if we have a scope for
performing power-savings balance.

Add no-op inline functions for the !(CONFIG_SCHED_MC || CONFIG_SCHED_SMT)
case.

This will eliminate all the #ifdef jungle in find_busiest_group() and the
other helper functions.
