Maybe it's not. The cpus in group 0 are in a lower power state so that there will be a benefit to select cpu 2 from the power' PoV IMHO. Also such a low power state has a longer exit latency so that we should choose cpu2 to get a better performance and it's the basic idea of this patchset I believe.
