Does it help if I clarify what Linus was suggesting?  Instead of:

         #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
                 .. use nr_running() ..
         #else
                 .. use nr_running ..
         #endif

write:

	inline int nr_running(void)
	{
	#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
		int i = 0, tot=nt_running(REALTIME_RQ);
		while (i < smp_num_cpus) {
			tot += nt_running(cpu_logical_map(i++));
		}
		return(tot);
	#else
		return nr_running;
	#endif
	}

Then see if you can make the #ifdef's go away from that too.  (If that's 
too hard, well, at least the #ifdef's are now reduced.)
