From: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggem...@arm.com> We do not want to miss out on the ability to do energy-aware idle load balancing if the system is only partially loaded since the operational range of energy-aware scheduling corresponds to a partially loaded system. We might want to pull a single remaining task from a potential src cpu towards an idle destination cpu if the energy model tells us this is worth doing to save energy.
