sched: reintroduce SMP tunings again
Yanmin Zhang reported an aim7 regression and bisected it down to: | commit 38ad464d410dadceda1563f36bdb0be7fe4c8938 | Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> | Date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:02 2007 +0200 | | sched: uniform tunings | | use the same defaults on both UP and SMP. fix this by reintroducing similar SMP tunings again. This resolves the regression. (also update the comments to match the ilog2(nr_cpus) tuning effect) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
