[IA64] Add config SCHED_SMT
Now that we have MC/MT detection patches in, appended patch allows us to configure MT scheduler optimizations. For now, we will this option off by default. There is some discussion going on lkml about setting up sched-domains which are absolutely needed (like for example, we shouldn't setup SMT domain for non MT processors). Once that patch goes in, we can enable this option by default. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
