Anthony Gutierrez 5a648f2074 configs: add option for repeatedly switching back-and-forth between cpu types.
This patch adds a --repeat-switch option that will enable repeat core
switching at a user defined period (set with --switch-freq option).
currently, a switch can only occur between like CPU types. inorder CPU
switching is not supported.

*note*
this patch simply allows a config that will perform repeat switching, it
does not fix drain/switchout functionality. if you run with repeat switching
you will hit assertion failures and/or your workload with hang or die.
