For me asym_cpu_capacity_classify() is pretty hard to digest ;-) But I
wasn't able to break it. It also performs correctly on (non-existing SMT)
layer (with sd span eq. single CPU).

Something like this (separating asym_cap_list iteration and flags
construction would be easier for me. But like already said here,
it's subjective.
I left the two optimizations (list_is_singular(), break on asym_cap_count
> 1) out for now. asym_cap_list shouldn't have > 4 entries (;-)).

static inline int
asym_cpu_capacity_classify(struct sched_domain *sd, 
                           const struct cpumask *cpu_map)
{
        int sd_span_match = 0, cpu_map_match = 0, flags = 0; 
        struct asym_cap_data *entry;

        list_for_each_entry(entry, &asym_cap_list, link) {
                if (cpumask_intersects(sched_domain_span(sd), entry->cpu_mask))
                        ++sd_span_match;
                else if (cpumask_intersects(cpu_map, entry->cpu_mask))
                        ++cpu_map_match;
        }

        WARN_ON_ONCE(!sd_span_match);

        if (sd_span_match > 1) { 
                flags |= SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY;
                if (!cpu_map_match)
                        flags |= SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL;
        }

        return flags;
}

BTW, how would this mechanism behave on a system with SMT and asymmetric CPU
capacity? Something EAS wouldn't allow but I guess asym_cap_list will be
constructed and the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_XXX flags will be set?
