That one wants to be declared '__maybe_unused' at the top of
partition_sched_domains() perhaps ? Just to avoid the { } section.
Hopefully the compiler will be smart enough to not use stack space for
it if not needed.

And we want to do 'has_eas = true' just before 'goto match3' here.
Otherwise we'll end up disabling EAS if we hit 'goto match3' for all
root domains.

Other than that I guess that should work OK :-)
