Series sched: Introduce IPC classes for load balance |

Commit Message

  A task may be unclassified if it has been recently created, spend most of
its lifetime sleeping, or hardware has not provided a classification.

Most tasks will be eventually classified as scheduler's IPC class 1
(HFI class 0). This class corresponds to the capabilities in the legacy,
classless, HFI table.

IPC class 1 is a reasonable choice until hardware provides an actual
classification. Meanwhile, the scheduler will place other tasks with higher
scores on higher-performance CPUs.
