[PATCH] Hookup group-scheduler with task container infrastructure

[Srivatsa Vaddagiri]

Ingo and Andrew,
	The cfs core has been enhanced since quite sometime now to 
understand task-groups and provide fairness to such task-group. What was
needed is an interface for the administrator to define task-groups and
specify group "importance" in terms of its cpu share.

The patch below adds such an interface. Its based on the task containers
feature in -mm tree. I request you to review and include the patch in your
trees for more wider testing from community.

Note that the load balancer needs more work, esp to deal with cases like 
2-groups on 4-cpus, one group has 3 tasks and other having 4 tasks.
We are working on some ideas, but nothing to share in the form of a
patch yet. I felt sending this patch out would help folks start
testing the feature and also improve it.
