Maybe it's not. The cpus in group 0 are in a lower power state so that
there will be a benefit to select cpu 2 from the power' PoV IMHO. Also
such a low power state has a longer exit latency so that we should
choose cpu2 to get a better performance and it's the basic idea of this
patchset I believe.

Thanks,
Namhyung
