I think we should delay #4 to a bit later, when the other changes have gone in - or you could try to send a patch against sched-devel.git/latest which should show the merged up status of that code: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/sched-devel.git/README sched-devel/latest has all of the x86 tree 'embedded' in it - plus the 4Kcpu changes as well.
