Subject: [PATCH 10/18] sched: add sched_policy in kernel

Current scheduler behavior is just consider the for larger performance
of system. So it try to spread tasks on more cpu sockets and cpu cores

To adding the consideration of power awareness, the patchset adds
2 kinds of scheduler policy: powersaving and balance, the old scheduling
was taken as performance.

performance: the current scheduling behaviour, try to spread tasks
                on more CPU sockets or cores.
powersaving: will shrink tasks into sched group until all LCPU in the
                group is nearly full.
balance    : will shrink tasks into sched group until group_capacity
                numbers CPU is nearly full.

The following patches will enable powersaving scheduling in CFS.
