For the moment only for Renesas R-Car Gen3 SoC's. Can be expanded for other SoC's by setting the machine feature biglittle and provide the relevant EAS patches. Bug-AGL: SPEC-813 Change-Id: I2b5e69c515c33e57be19b30466fe208d7b8ac1a5 Signed-off-by: Frode Isaksen <fisaksen@baylibre.com>

+Subject: [PATCH 46/92] sched: Make energy awareness a sched feature
+
+This patch introduces the ENERGY_AWARE sched feature, which is
+implemented using jump labels when SCHED_DEBUG is defined. It is
+statically set false when SCHED_DEBUG is not defined. Hence this doesn't
+allow energy awareness to be enabled without SCHED_DEBUG. This
+sched_feature knob will be replaced later with a more appropriate
+control knob when things have matured a bit.
+
+ENERGY_AWARE is based on per-entity load-tracking hence FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
+must be enable. This dependency isn't checked at compile time yet.
