 [RFC][PATCH v1 2/3] x86/sched: Add basic support for CPU capacity scaling

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

In order be able to compute the sizes of tasks consistently across all
CPUs in a hybrid system, it is necessary to provide CPU capacity scaling
information to the scheduler via arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

Add support for it via arch_cpu_scale per-CPU variables that can be set
by whoever has sufficient information on the CPU capacities.

By default, arch_cpu_scale is equal to SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE for all
CPUs, so this change by itself is not expected to alter the current
behavior of the kernel.
