I folded the next two patches, and other two patches into the later
CFS patch (still kept 2 patches total for such file as there are two
things happening so it should be simpler to review those
separately).

I should have folded those in the first place but I tried to retain
exact attribution of the fixes but I agree for now the priority should
be given to keep the code as easy to review as possible. So I added
attribution in the header of a common commit as I already did for
other commits before.

You can review the folded version in the autonuma-dev-smt branch which
I just pushed (not fast forward):

git clone --reference linux -b autonuma-dev-smt git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/andrea/aa.git
check head is 3b1ff002978862264c4a24308bddc5e7da24e9ee
git format-patch 0b100d7

0020-autonuma-avoid-CFS-select_task_rq_fair-to-return-1.patch
0021-autonuma-teach-CFS-about-autonuma-affinity.patch

This should be much simpler to review, sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
Andrea
