Ditto with pipe benchmark.

"perf bench sched pipe" was run 10 times and average ops/sec score
alongwith std. dev is noted as below.


		SD_BALANCE_WAKE		SD_BALANCE_WAKE
		 disabled		enabled

Avg. score	108984.900 		111844.300 (+2.6%)
std dev		20383.457		21668.604

Note:

SD_BALANCE_WAKE for SMT/MC domain was enabled by writing into appropriate 
flags file present in /proc:

	# cd /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/
	# for i in `find . -name flags | grep domain1`; do echo 4671 > $i; done
	# for i in `find . -name flags | grep domain0`; do echo 703 > $i; done
