Since the 'capacities-dmips-mhz' are present in the CPU nodes, make use of
this knowledge in smarter decisions during scheduling.
The values in 'capacities-dmips-mhz' are normilized, this means that i.e.
when CPU0's capacities-dmips-mhz=100 and CPU1's 'capacities-dmips-mhz'=50,
cpu0 is twice fast as CPU1, at the same frequency. The proper hirarchy
in sched_domain topology could exploit the SoC architecture advantages
like big.LITTLE. Enabling the SCHED_MC will create two levels in
sched_domain hierarchy, which might be observed in:
grep . /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu*/domain*/{name,flags}
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain0/name:MC
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain1/name:DIE
...
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain0/flags:575
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain1/flags:4223
