sched: Final power vs. capacity cleanups
It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent to "CPU power". The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too liberally. This contains the architecture visible changes. Incidentally, only ARM takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM specific file. The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden by anyone. Replacements are as follows: arch_scale_freq_power --> arch_scale_freq_capacity arch_scale_smt_power --> arch_scale_smt_capacity SCHED_POWER_SCALE --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE SCHED_POWER_SHIFT --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed to "capacity" as appropriate.
