SubjectRe: [patch 6/7] sched: use rq->avg_event to resurrect nohz ratelimiting
From
Date
Added CC of the person who reported that the last nohz ratelimit patch
caused increased power consumption.

Norbert: can you please test this patch to make sure it's not going to
cause you the same trouble the last one did? I see no ill effects with
this patch, but then I didn't with the last either.

TIA,

-Mike
