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.

Barry,
Can you also add this chunk to the patch. Thanks.
Tim
