So I guess I agree with it. Can we have a scheduler day when Andrew is ready to take patches for it? I have a few small changes that I'd like to get merged soon too (not sched domains - that should probably go to the mm tree for a while) Relevant patches are sched-ctx-count-preempt.patch sched-fork-cleanup.patch sched-migrate-comment.patch sched-style.patch sched-migrate-affinity-race.patch
