yes, ebizzy doesn't test this part but check for non regression
The scp test is the one that i use to check this patch and the
previous one but a test with some cfs and rt tasks should also do the
jobs.
we can see an increase of 82% for the dual core when
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is enable

it refers to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING which includes the time spent
under interrupt context to compute the scale_rt_capacity
