Could you take these 3 patches via your tree, please?
I'm asking you because the fair.c has most changes
(apart from energy_model.h) and the patches got
ACKs from Rafael and Viresh. The patch which touches
fair.c got Reviewed-by Vincent Guittot. I have address
all the comment, thus, IMHO it could fly now.

Please let me know if you like me to re-base on top
of some of your branches.

Regards,
Lukasz
