[git pull] scheduler updates

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

Linus, please pull the latest scheduler fixes git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-sched.git

warning: the rcupreempt patch is a bit larger than what i'd like to do 
for -rc4 but rcupreempt is a new feature, the fix has been in the queue 
for ages (with no changes to it) - and half of the patch's size is 
comments. It has no effect on !RCUPREEMPT || !NOHZ kernels. [this fix 
became more urgent because on larger SMP it's rather easy to trigger a 
boot time hang.]

Thanks,

	Ingo
