What's with all the crappy macros in here?

This one purports to be a constant, but it isn't - it's code.

It would be cleaner, clearer and more idiomatic to do

static inline int powersaving_sd_flags(void)
{
...
}

Also, doing (sched_mc_power_savings | sched_smt_power_saving) might
save a branch.

buggy when passed an expression with side-effects. Doesn't need to be
implemented as a macro.


Sigh.
