Works for me.

    Merge branch 'cpu_stop' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc into sched/core

but I don't know if this is the right command. I'm almost entirely a novice
at git... Anyway, I haven't tested if this particular commit works yet, I'll
be rebooting after I send this email.

Thanks for explaining what it's doing. I assume if I wanted to use the third
argument I'd use
	awk '{print $3}' /proc/loadavg
correct? I think I'll be using that since it'll give me a better clue if
loads are consistently high over a long period, as well as make the loadavg
graph less prone to jitter.

Thank you,
Tim McGrath
