       "The main changes in this cycle were:
      
         - Introduce "Energy Aware Scheduling" - by Quentin Perret.
      
           This is a coherent topology description of CPUs in cooperation with
           the PM subsystem, with the goal to schedule more energy-efficiently
           on asymetric SMP platform - such as waking up tasks to the more
           energy-efficient CPUs first, as long as the system isn't
           oversubscribed.
      
           For details of the design, see:
      
              https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180724122521.22109-1-quentin.perret@arm.com/
