Subject: [PATCH 0/2] sched: arch_scale_smt_powers

The new Power7 processor has 4 way SMT.  This 4 way SMT benefits from
dynamic power updates that arch_scale_smt_power was designed to provide.
The first patch fixes a generic scheduler bug necessary for arch_scale_smt
to properly function.  The second patch implements arch_scale_smt_power 
for powerpc, and in particular for Power7 processors.
