[IA64] Add config SCHED_SMT
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now that we have MC/MT detection patches in, appended patch allows us to
configure MT scheduler optimizations. For now, we will this option off
by default.

There is some discussion going on lkml about setting up sched-domains 
which are absolutely needed (like for example, we shouldn't setup SMT domain
for non MT processors). Once that patch goes in, we can enable this option by
default.

Improves the CPU scheduler's decision making when dealing with
Intel IA64 chips with MultiThreading at a cost of slightly increased
overhead in some places. If unsure say N here.
