In fact, there is 2 tracks, one for a power aware scheduler and one for setting the capacity of each core of a big.LITTLE system. This patch is for the latter and is not directly link to the power because the default/performance mode of the scheduler should also take advantage of this information
Fair enough.. can you include a little blurp in the changelog on how this affects the capacity stuff for big.little and if that works as desired due to these patches?
OK, I will add explanations about how this affect the cpu_power field and the load balance of a big.LITTLE system, what is enhanced with this modification and what is not.
