Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Improve numa load balancing

Here is a patchset that improves numa load balancing. It prefers
numa over cache during regular balancing. It also takes imbalance_pct into
consideration in numa_has_capacity() and provides few fixes to
task_numa_migrate().

Here are results from 5 runs of autonuma-benchmark

Srikar Dronamraju (4):
  sched/tip:Prefer numa hotness over cache hotness
  sched: Consider imbalance_pct when comparing loads in numa_has_capacity
  sched: Fix task_numa_migrate to always update preferred node
  sched: Use correct nid while evaluating task weights
