Subject: [PATCH 2/5] sched: add asymmetric packing option for sibling domain
Some CPUs perform better when tasks are run on lower thread numbers.
In the case of POWER7, when higher threads are idled, the core can run
in lower SMT modes and hence perform better.
This creates a new sd flag to prefer lower threads.
Based heavily on patch from Peter Zijlstra.
Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@...ling.org>

Peter: Since this is based mainly off your initial patch, it should
have your signed-off-by too, but I didn't want to add without your
permission. Can I add it?
