Peter,

The sched_asym_prefer is used in sched/core.c to set asym_prefer_cpu
in a group. So we will still need the definition in sched.h.  I've removed
the group_priority_cpu macro.

Updated patch below.

Thanks.

Tim

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] sched: Extend scheduler's asym packing

We generalize the scheduler's asym packing to provide an ordering
of the cpu beyond just the cpu number.  This allows the use of the
ASYM_PACKING scheduler machinery to move loads to preferred CPU in a
sched domain. The preference is defined with the cpu priority
given by arch_asym_cpu_priority(cpu).

We also record the most preferred cpu in a sched group when
we build the cpu's capacity for fast lookup of preferred cpu
during load balancing.
