Notes:
Moved from 11.09 to 11.10 because of not yet any stable implementation on any board at PMWG. Snowball is close but has issues.
[dzin 2011/10/28] Rewrite this blueprint to capture better the work to be done, re-target to 11.11
[mansson 2011-10-28] ched_mc cannot be verified without a cpuidle implementation. There is one (hard to extract) for Pandaboard at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/linaro-android-enable-and-characterize-sched-mc and this code is expected to be in the 3.2 kernel. This blueprint is blocked until a Linaro kernel with cpuidle exists and it will be rescheduled.
[dzin 2011/11/25] moved to backlog

Headline:
sched_mc is enabled and characterized on Android

Acceptance:
An Android build with sched_mc exists in android-build.
