Subject: [GIT PULL] sched: Remove unlikely likelys (take two)

Hi Ingo,

I noticed this pull request never made it into tip:

 https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/12/13/625

I tested it again by merging it into latest Linus's tree and running a
bunch of tests on it. The tests show that it still works (besides the
bugs it finds from the normal 3.0-rc release).

Please pull the latest unlikely/sched tree, which can be found at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace.git
unlikely/sched


Steven Rostedt (3):
      sched: Change pick_next_task_rt from unlikely to likely
      sched: Remove unlikely() from rt_policy() in sched.c
      sched: Remove unlikely() from ttwu_post_activation

Yong Zhang (1):
      sched: Cleanup pre_schedule_rt
