Subject: [PATCH V3 4/6] sched: Rename the variable sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu
Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2009 11:59:10 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090306062910.9445.91189.stgit@sofia.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090306060513.9445.28732.stgit@sofia.in.ibm.com>

sched_mc_ preferred_wakeup_cpu is currently used when the user seeks
power savings through aggressive task consolidation.

This is applicable for both sched_mc_power_savings as well as
sched_smt_power_savings. So rename sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu to
preferred_wakeup_cpu.

Also fix the comment for preferred_wakeup_cpu.
