SubjectRe: [PATCH 3 4/6] sched: Rename the variable sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu
* Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> [2009-03-18 14:52:38]:

> sched_mc_ preferred_wakeup_cpu is currently used when the user seeks
> power savings through aggressive task consolidation.
>
> This is applicable for both sched_mc_power_savings as well as
> sched_smt_power_savings. So rename sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu to
> preferred_wakeup_cpu.

Good short name :)
