What's up with all the sched domains transitions at the bottom?
This was just a boot up from power off, no suspend/resume or anything funky.

CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain.
CPU1 attaching NULL sched-domain.
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-1 level MC
groups: 0 1
domain 1: span 0-1 level NODE
groups: 0-1
CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-1 level MC
groups: 1 0
domain 1: span 0-1 level NODE
groups: 0-1

3x

looks like someone is triggering rebuild_sched_domains(), is something
poking cpusetfs files or flipping between sched_mc settings?

I remember someone mentioning that some distro's started setting
sched_mc_power_savings to '1' by default during boot. On a dual-core
laptop, this will not give any advantage.

I have to fix the code to not export this tunable, when we have only
socket in the system.

Dave, Is your distro also setting this tunable blindly during boot :(

thanks,
suresh
