Coregroup is a group or subset of cores from the same chip/DIE that share
some resources. This is very similar to MC domain aka Multi-Core Cache (MC),
(kernel/sched/topology.c) where cores share the same cache. In the
Multi-Core Cache domain, all the cores of that domain share the last level
of cache.
Will add the description to the commit message.

Okay, will add them, I shall copy to LKML, Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar.
Do let me know if you want anyone else to added.
