Adding 4 workloads test results for core scheduling v9 candidate: 

- kernel under test: 
	-- coresched community v9 candidate from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git (branch coresched)
	-- latest commit: 2e8591a330ff (HEAD -> coresched, origin/coresched) NEW: sched: Add a coresched command line option
	-- coresched=on kernel parameter applied
- workloads: 
	-- A. sysbench cpu (192 threads) + sysbench cpu (192 threads)
	-- B. sysbench cpu (192 threads) + sysbench mysql (192 threads, mysqld forced into the same cgroup)
	-- C. uperf netperf.xml (192 threads over TCP or UDP protocol separately)
	-- D. will-it-scale context_switch via pipe (192 threads)
- test machine setup: 
	CPU(s):              192
	On-line CPU(s) list: 0-191
	Thread(s) per core:  2
	Core(s) per socket:  48
	Socket(s):           2
	NUMA node(s):        4
- test results, no obvious performance drop compared to community v8 build:
