Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] sched: add sched_policy and it's sysfs interface
This patch add the power aware scheduler knob into sysfs:
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_policy/available_sched_policy
performance powersaving
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_policy/current_sched_policy
powersaving
The using sched policy is 'powersaving'. User can change the policy
by commend 'echo':
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/current_sched_policy
Power aware scheduling will has different behavior according to
different policy:
performance: the current scheduling behaviour, try to spread tasks
on more CPU sockets or cores.
powersaving: will shrink tasks into sched group until the group's
nr_running is up to group_weight.

+Description: CFS scheduler policy showing and setting interface.
+
+ available_sched_policy shows there are 2 kinds of policy now:
+ performance and powersaving.
+ current_sched_policy shows current scheduler policy. And user
+ can change the policy by writing it.
+
+ Policy decides that CFS scheduler how to distribute tasks onto
+ which CPU unit when tasks number less than LCPU number in system
+
+ performance: try to spread tasks onto more CPU sockets,
+ more CPU cores.
+
+ powersaving: try to shrink tasks onto same core or same CPU
+ until running task number beyond the LCPU number in the core
+ or socket.
