Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/9] sched: Introduce power scheduler
Proof of concept capacity managing power scheduler. Supports simple
packing without any consideration of power topology. The power scheduler
is meant to use a platform specific power driver to obtain information
about power topology and select idle states and frequency/P-states.
For now, the power scheduler is called periodically on cpu0. This will be
replaced by calls from the scheduler in the future. Thresholds and other
defined constants will be configurable, possibly set by the power driver,
in the future. Iterations over all cpus will be also be optimized to
ensure scalability.
