[PATCH 2/2] sched: More generic WAKE_AFFINE vs select_idle_sibling()

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: sched-idle-sibling-more.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2339 bytes --]

Instead of only considering SD_WAKE_AFFINE | SD_PREFER_SIBLING domains
also allow all SD_PREFER_SIBLING domains below a SD_WAKE_AFFINE domain
to change the affinity target.
