Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delay in the response. I tried the V7 patchset on 
top of tip. Patchset passed different combinations build and boot 
tests. 

I have re-run the tests with couple of combinations on the same 
2 socket,4 core, HT box. The test data was collected for 60 seconds
run

un-pinned and cpu shares of 1024
-------------------------------------------------
Top five cgroups and its sub-cgroups were assigned default
cpu shares of 1024.

Average CPU Idle percentage 21.8333%
Bandwidth shared with remaining non-Idle 78.1667%


un-pinned and cpu shares are proportional 
--------------------------------------------------
Top five cgroups were assigned cpu shares proportional to 
no of sub-cgroups it has under its hierarchy. 
For example cgroup1's share is (1024*2) = 2048 and each sub-cgroups 
has shares of 1024.

Average CPU Idle percentage 14.2%
Bandwidth shared with remaining non-Idle 85.8%


pinned and cpu shares of 1024
--------------------------------------------------
Average CPU Idle percentage 0.0666667%
Bandwidth shared with remaining non-Idle 99.9333333%


pinned and cpu shares are proportional
--------------------------------------------------
Average CPU Idle percentage 0%
Bandwidth shared with remaining non-Idle 100%


I have captured the perf sched stats for every run. Let me
know if that will help. I can mail them to you privately.

Thanks,
Kamalesh.
