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

These are cpusets related cpu hotplug race fixes that have been tested 
to fix crashes and behavioral regressions that were reported.

Thanks,

	Ingo
