+Contact:       Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
+Description:   Discover and adjust the kernel's multi-core scheduler support.
+
+               Possible values are:
+
+               0 - No power saving load balance (default value)
+               1 - Fill one thread/core/package first for long running threads
+               2 - Also bias task wakeups to semi-idle cpu package for power
+                   savings
+
+               sched_mc_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_MC, which is
+               itself architecture dependent.
+
+               sched_smt_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_SMT, which
+               is itself architecture dependent.
+
+               The two files are independent of each other. It is possible
+               that one file may be present without the other.
+
+               Introduced by git commit 5c45bf27.
