Subject: [PATCHv2 0/2] move sysctl bits into new header and add a SCHED_RR
 tuning knob

Ingo,

On your suggestion, I created the directory include/linux/sched and created 
include/linux/sched/sysctl.h, which contains all the sysctl scheduler bits (plus a 
few autogroup prototype definitions). If there are still objections we can create
autogroup.h or some other more generic entry in include/linux/sched and move them
there (or even back to include/linux/sched.h).

The second patch is just adding the SCHED_RR tuning knob to the new sysctl header
and the code changes to core.c, rt.c and sysctl.c. 

I saw a few other things that might be candidates for a new file in the sched dir,
things like NO_HZ and CGROUPS but wanted to get this in place first. 

Clark Williams (2):
  sched: create new scheduler include dir and move sysctl defs there
  sched/rt:  add a tuning knob to allow changing SCHED_RR timeslice
