[RFC PATCH 00/11] Refactor select_task_rq_fair()

[Yuyang Du <yuyang.du@intel.com>]

Hi all,

As a follow-up of my recent proposal to remove SD_WAKE_AFFINE, I have this
initial-draft and unfinished refactoring to select_task_rq_fair().

Basic idea is to form a comprehensive view of the topology to guide the
select.

My many wanted jobs haven't been achieved, so I decided to post this initial
draft earlier to have your comments and experiences (I have no experience on
production multi-socket machines and no real experince on heterogeneous CPUs).
But generally, better topology view, I believe, should greatly help with the
full spectrum of machines from big to small.

Just lightly tested, it only works, :)

So my patches are built on Peter's select_idle_sibling() patches (so all of
them should be a little outdated), and borrowed his scan cost regulation part.

Thanks a lot.

Yuyang
