Yes, mostly in power aware task placement and task consolidation in
large SMP systems and also some timer consolidation to improve low
power idle residency.

There are some tuning and optimizations in cpuidle governor that is
related to power management but not core scheduler.

As Peter mentioned, most of them may not apply to uni processor
systems.
