This patchset was previously part of the larger tasks packing patchset [1]. I have splitted the latter in 3 different patchsets (at least) to make the thing easier. -configuration of sched_domain topology (this patchset) -update and consolidation of cpu_power -tasks packing algorithm
Based on Peter Z's proposal [2][3], this patchset modifies the way to configure the sched_domain level in order to let architectures to add specific level like the current BOOK level or the proposed power gating level for ARM architecture.

Change since v2: - remove patch 1 as it has been already applied to metag tree for v3.15 - updates some commit messages - add new flag description in TOPOLOGY_SD_FLAGS description
Change since v1: - move sched_domains_curr_level back under #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA - use function pointer to set flag instead of a plain value. - add list of tunable flags in the commit message of patch 2 - add SD_SHARE_POWER_DOMAIN flag for powerpc's SMT level
