Retain this config for 2.6.25.

For 2.6.26-rc1, turn OFF CONFIG_USER_SCHED and turn ON CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED i.e

# CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y

[Note that above options are mutually exclusive i.e you cannot set both
of them to y]

same as 2.6.26-rc1 (with CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y).

It'd be great if you could confirm the same in your environment.
