Subject: [git pull] scheduler fixes
Linus,
Please pull the latest sched-fixes-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git sched-fixes-for-linus
This has a fix from Peter that is fresh (from earlier today) but i'm
pushing it because it would be nice to have it in -rc5 and it looks
fairly safe as well.
Thanks,
Ingo
