[PATCH 0/2] xen: sched: Credit1 shouldn't boost vcpus being migrated.

[Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli@citrix.com>]

Hi again,

Here it comes v2, redone following Jan's suggestion, which allowed to get rid
of patch 2, and do everything in sched_credit.c.

So, in summary, because of the fact that vcpu_migrate() forces the vcpus into a
sleep+wakeup cycle, vcpus being migrated to a new pcpu, were also being granted
BOOST priority, inside Credit1, and that is not correct.

More info on v1's cover letter, which is here:

  http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-02/msg01620.html

I re-run the same set of benchmarks described in v1, and the result for this
rework of the series are basically the same as there.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
