commit 907d3684c01fcc5c6a985276f750d816f309651c
Author: Clark Williams <williams@...hat.com>
Date:   Fri Jan 25 14:43:05 2013 -0600

    [kernel] create include file for scheduler tuning knobs
    
    Create include/linux/sched_sysctl.h for scheduler tuning knob-related
    definitions, then move sysctl-related bits into it from
    include/linux/sched.h.
