    sched: Make tunable scaling style configurable · 1983a922
    Christian Ehrhardt authored
    As scaling now takes place on all kind of cpu add/remove events a user
    that configures values via proc should be able to configure if his set
    values are still rescaled or kept whatever happens.
    
    As the comments state that log2 was just a second guess that worked the
    interface is not just designed for on/off, but to choose a scaling type.
    Currently this allows none, log and linear, but more important it allwos
    us to keep the interface even if someone has an even better idea how to
    scale the values.
