i'm leaning towards making this v2.6.25 material, as it affects the
non-group-scheduling bits too and is rather large. When i tested it,
group scheduling worked pretty well - at least for CPU bound tasks - and
on SMP too. Could we live with what we have for now and defer this patch
to v2.6.25? If not, could you split up this patch in a way to defer all
the FAIR_GROUP_SCHED relevant changes to a separate patch which will not
affect the !FAIR_GROUP_SCHED case at all? That will make the case much
clearer.
