hrm, i didnt notice that conditional_schedule wasnt defined in that
patch. you will need to do it, but do something more like
if (current->need_resched && current->lock_depth == 0) {
unlock_kernel();
lock_kernel();
}
like Andrew wrote.
If you don't jump on the idea of trying this :) I will send work out a
patch that does some other low-latency thigns and send it out.
