[PATCH] Introduce CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST

The boot sequence on s390 sometimes takes ages and we spend a very long
time (up to one or two minutes) in calibrate_migration_costs. The time
spent there differs from boot to boot. Also the calculated costs differ
a lot. I've seen differences by up to a factor of 15 (yes, factor not
percent). Also I doubt that making these measurements make much sense on
a completely virtualized architecture where you cannot tell how much cpu
time you will get anyway.
So introduce the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST method for an architecture
to set the scheduler migration costs. This turns off automatic detection
of migration costs. Makes sense on virtual platforms, where migration
costs are hard to measure accurately.

Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
