+Subject: topology: introduce arch specific SD_MC_INIT initializer
+References: bnc#477666,LTC#51049
+
+Symptom: Up to 30% more cpu usage for some workloads.
+Problem: For some workloads the extra multicore scheduling domain causes
+ additional cpu usage because of too optimistic assumptions when
+ it is ok to migrate processes from one cpu to another. The default
+ values for SD_MC_INIT don't work well on s390.
+Solution: Define an architecure specific SD_MC_INIT scheduling domain
+ initializer which fixes the regression.
