A new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is created to reflect whether groups of CPUs in a sched_domain level can or not reach different power state. As an example, the flag should be cleared at CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated independently. This information can be used to add load balancing level between group of CPUs than can power gate independantly. The default behavior of the scheduler is to spread tasks across CPUs and groups of CPUs
so the flag is set into all sched_domains.
I suppose that is the part Preeti stumbled over; as did I. Its not set at all.
