A parked CPU is considered to be flagged as unsuitable to process
workload at the moment, but might be become usable anytime. Depending on
the necessity for additional computation power and/or available capacity
of the underlying hardware.
A scheduler group is considered to be parked if it only contains parked
CPUs. A parked scheduler group is considered to be busier than another
if it runs more tasks than the other parked scheduler group.
Indicators whether a CPU should be parked depend on the underlying
hardware and must be considered to be architecture dependent.
Therefore the check whether a CPU is parked is architecture specific.
For architectures not relying on this feature, the check is a NOP.
This is more efficient and non-disruptive compared to CPU hotplug in
environments where such changes can be necessary on a frequent basis.
