    [PATCH] sched: passive balancing damping · df65cdbf

    This patch starts to balance woken processes when half the relevant domain's
    imbalance_pct is reached.  Previously balancing would start after a small,
    constant difference in waker/wakee runqueue loads was reached, which would
    cause too much process movement when there are lots of processes running.
    
    It also turns wake balancing into a domain flag while previously it was always
    on.  Now sched domains can "soft partition" an SMP system without using
    processor affinities.
