Patch series logistics:

 - No objections from the scheduler side, this feature looks pretty useful.

 - Certain patches are incomplete, others are noted as being merged 
   separately, so I presume you'll send an updated/completed series 
   eventually?

 - We can merge this via the scheduler tree I suspect, as most callbacks 
   affected relate to tip:sched/core and tmp:smp/core - but if you have 
   some other preferred tree that's fine too.

Thanks,

	Ingo
