The following error that Andrew reports seems to be another
side affect of the "system" patch to cpusets.

I see this error too:

  kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'cpuset_common_file_write':
  kernel/cpuset.c:1374: warning: passing argument 3 of 'update_flag' makes integer from pointer without a cast
  kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'cpuset_destroy':
  kernel/cpuset.c:1793: warning: passing argument 3 of 'update_flag' makes integer from pointer without a cast

I am building with:

Andrew's latest (last couple hours) mmotm, applied on top of
v2.6.26-rc1, with -just- the first two mmotm patches applied to
v2.6.26-rc1, plus your patch:

  origin.patch -- from mmotm
  linux-next.patch -- from mmotm
  Your recent "Fix cpuset sched_relax_domain_level control file" patch

The warning comes from the type inconsistence between the following
lines of kernel/cpuset.c code.  The definition of update_flag() is
expecting an "int turning_on" third argument.  The borked "system"
patch (on my wish I could kill it list) is providing a "char *"
argument.

static int update_flag(cpuset_flagbits_t bit, struct cpuset *cs,
                       int turning_on)

...

static ssize_t cpuset_common_file_write(struct cgroup *cont,
                                        struct cftype *cft,
                                        struct file *file,
                                        const char __user *userbuf,
                                        size_t nbytes, loff_t *unused_ppos)
{
        struct cpuset *cs = cgroup_cs(cont);
        cpuset_filetype_t type = cft->private;
        char *buffer;
        int retval = 0;

...

        case FILE_SYSTEM:
                retval = update_flag(CS_SYSTEM, cs, buffer);

...

        if (!is_system(cs))
                update_flag(CS_SYSTEM, cs, "1");
