Can the sched stuff in -mm go to Linus soon then? The earlier in
this cycle the better, I think.

Any boot problems introduced by the cleanup stuff shouldn't be too
hard to track down, and the simplifications are worth the possible
breakage IMO.

The scheduler behavioural change is restricted to introducing child
runs last for CLONE_VM clones, and removing balance-on-clone. Both
should be improvements on most real world threaded apps, and have
been in -mm long enough to get as much test coverage as they ever
will.
