True. And I can change this back.

It seems though that the solution is not sufficient because of the
'rd->span &nsub cpu_active_mask' issue discussed under patch 2/4.

But this remind me of another question I have.

Currently we use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() more often (16 times) than
capacity_orig_of()/rq->cpu_capacity_orig .

What's hindering us to remove rq->cpu_capacity_orig and the code around
it and solely rely on arch_scale_cpu_capacity()? I mean the arch
implementation should be fast.
