Just a quick question: is your MIPS build fix going to be merged and sent to 
Linus? I can apply it too, and send it to Linus later today, together with a few 
other sched.h header related build fixes.

Assuming it's all properly tested - my limited MIPS defconfig builds worked fine - 
but MIPS has a lot of build variations.

Either way is fine to me.

Thanks,
