I am seeing 2.6% _improvement_ in volanomark score by enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
at SMT/MC domains.

Machine : 2 Quad-core Intel X5570 CPU (H/T enabled)
Kernel : tip (HEAD at 6241cc8)
Java : OpenJDK 1.6.0_20
Volano : 2_9_0

Volano benchmark was run 4 times with and w/o SD_BALANCE_WAKE enabled in
SMT/MC domains.

Average score std. dev

SD_BALANCE_WAKE disabled 369459.750 4825.046
SD_BALANCE_WAKE enabled 379070.500 379070.5

I am going to try pipe benchmark next. Do you have suggestions for any other
benchmarks I should try to see the effect of SD_BALANCE_WAKE turned on in
SMT/MC domains?

- vatsa
