Subject: [RFCv2 PATCH 18/23] sched: Energy model functions

Introduces energy_diff_util() which finds the energy impacts of adding
or removing utilization from a specific cpu. The calculation is based on
the energy information provided by the platform through sched_energy
data in the sched_domain hierarchy.

Task and cpu utilization is based on unweighted load tracking
(uw_load_avg_contrib) and unweighted cpu_load(cpu, 1) that is introduced
earlier in the patch set. While it isn't a perfect utilization metric,
it is better than weighted load. There are several other loose ends that
need to be addressed, such as load/utilization invariance and proper
representation of compute capacity. However, the energy model and
unweighted load metrics are there.

The energy cost model only considers utilization (busy time) and idle
energy (remaining time) for now. The basic idea is to determine the
energy cost at each level in the sched_domain hierarchy.

	for_each_domain(cpu, sd) {
		sg = sched_group_of(cpu)
		energy_before = curr_util(sg) * busy_power(sg)
				+ (1-curr_util(sg)) * idle_power(sg)
		energy_after = new_util(sg) * busy_power(sg)
				+ (1-new_util(sg)) * idle_power(sg)
		energy_diff += energy_before - energy_after
	}

Wake-ups energy is added later in this series.

Assumptions and the basic algorithm are described in the code comments.

+ * Energy model for energy-aware scheduling
+ *
+ * Assumptions:
+ *
+ * 1. Task and cpu load/utilization are assumed to be scale invariant. That is,
+ * task utilization is invariant to frequency scaling and cpu microarchitecture
+ * differences. For example, a task utilization of 256 means a cpu with a
+ * capacity of 1024 will be 25% busy running the task, while another cpu with a
+ * capacity of 512 will be 50% busy.
+ *
+ * 2. When capacity states are shared (SD_SHARE_CAP_STATES) the capacity state
+ * tables are equivalent. That is, the same table index can be used across all
+ * tables.
+ *
+ * 3. Only the lowest level in sched_domain hierarchy has SD_SHARE_CAP_STATES
+ * set. This restriction will be removed later.
+ *
+ * 4. No independent higher level capacity states. Cluster/package power states
+ * are either shared with cpus (SD_SHARE_CAP_STATES) or they only have one.
+ * This restriction will be removed later.
+ *
+ * 5. The scheduler doesn't control capacity (frequency) scaling, but assumes
+ * that the controller will adjust the capacity to match the utilization.
