	    [PATCH] sched: sched_cacheflush is now unused

	    Since Ingo's recent scheduler rewrite which was merged as commit
	    0437e109e1841607f2988891eaa36c531c6aa6ac sched_cacheflush is unused.

	    Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@...ux-mips.org>
	    Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>

We want to restore sd->cache_hot_time for better migration decisions.
