Subject: [PATCH 3 1/6] sched: code cleanup - sd_power_saving_flags(), sd_balance_for_*_power()
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:52:22 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090318092222.24787.48744.stgit@sofia.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090318092054.24787.18730.stgit@sofia.in.ibm.com>

This is a code cleanup patch which combines the functions of
sd_balance_for_mc/package_power() and sd_power_saving_flags() into a single
function.
