[RFC][PATCH 3/7] sched: power: go_faster/slower power driver hints

[Morten Rasmussen]

Adds power driver hints at task enqueue/dequeue and at the sched tick if
the new cpu load doesn't match the current cpu capacity. The optional hint
argument of go_faster/slower calls is currently unused. It is meant to
give the power driver a rough estimate of how much more/less cpu capacity
is needed. The power driver may ignore this and the go_faster/slower call
completely.
