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.

Create a new wakeup preemption mode, preempt towards tasks that run
shorter on avg. It sets next buddy to be sure we actually run the task
we preempted for.

For counting how long an application has been waiting for
(disk) IO, there currently is only the HZ sample driven
information available, while for all other counters in this
class, a high resolution version is available via
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS.

In order to make an improved bootchart tool possible, we also
need a higher resolution version of the iowait time.

This patch below adds this scheduler statistic to the kernel.

There are some points which refer the per-cpu value "runqueues" directly.
sched.c provides nice abstraction, such as cpu_rq() and this_rq(),
so we should use these macros when looking runqueues.

Impact: cleanup, new schedstat ABI

Since they are used on in statistics and are always set to zero, the
following fields from struct rq have been removed: yld_exp_empty,
yld_act_empty and yld_both_empty.

Both Sched Debug and SCHEDSTAT_VERSION versions has also been
incremented since ABIs have been changed.

The schedtop tool has been updated to properly handle new version of
schedstat:
