oh, yes, i forgot - that collided with some changes to that file -
percpu changes and 4Kcpu support. I think we should delay #4 to a bit
later, when the other changes have gone in - or you could try to send a
patch against sched-devel.git/latest which should show the merged up
status of that code:

sched-devel/latest has all of the x86 tree 'embedded' in it - plus the
4Kcpu changes as well.
