It depends on whether we're going to use it. currently only asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() uses
it within the SMT so I think update the lowest domain's group flag works. For correctness
all the domain group's flag should derives from its real child. I tried to solve this at group
building but seems hard to do, at that time we don't know whether a domain is going to degenerate
or not since the groups it not built.

May need to test on some heterogeous platforms. Does it always stand that child domain of CPU from
remote group have the same flags with @tmp?

The code you pasted at last of your mail is correct I think, not sure it doesn't appear here when reply...
Thanks.
