Barry,
I've taken a crack at it. Attached is a patch on top of your
v3 patches to implement L2 cluster sched domain for x86.
Thanks.

There are x86 CPU architectures (e.g. Jacobsville) where L2 cahce
is shared among a cluster of cores instead of being exclusive
to one single core.
To prevent oversubscription of L2 cache, load should be
balanced between such L2 clusters, especially for tasks with
no shared data.
Also with cluster scheduling policy where tasks are woken up
in the same L2 cluster, we will benefit from keeping tasks
related to each other and likely sharing data in the same L2
cluster.
Add CPU masks of CPUs sharing the L2 cache so we can build such
L2 cluster scheduler domain.
