Not in any useful way. If I go look at the file history, which is what
I'm going to do when tracking down a bug, all I see on the files included
in this changeset is akpm@osdl.org.

That means any annotated listing (BK or CVS blame) shows the wrong author.

[PATCH] minor sched.c cleanup

Signed-off-by: Christian Meder <chris@onestepahead.de>
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The following obviously correct patch from Christian Meder simplifies the
DELTA() define.
