by a later patch)

add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread
scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS),
for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases
can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too.

create sched_stats.h and move sched.c schedstats code into it.
This cleans up sched.c a bit.

add the init_idle_bootup_task() callback to the bootup thread,

remove sched_exit(): the elaborate dance of us trying to recover
timeslices given to child tasks never really worked.
CFS does not need it either.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

enum idle_type (used by the load-balancer) clashes with the
SCHED_IDLE name that we want to introduce. 'CPU_IDLE' instead
of 'SCHED_IDLE' is more descriptive as well.

Woo-hoo. I'm sure somebody will report a "this doesn't compile, and

Commit 1c710c896e added the utimensat()
system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability
of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a
filename.
We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to
simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from
using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus
Trippelsdorf.

Fix a post-2.6.21 regression.
read_cache_page_async() has two invocations of mark_page_accessed() which will
launch pages right onto the active list.
Remove the first one, keeping the latter one. This avoids marking unwanted
pages active (in the retry loop).

PIO4 is a maximum PIO mode supported by a driver. Using "255" as a max_mode
argument to ide_get_best_pio_mode() could result in wrong timings being used
by a driver (for "pio" equal to 5) or OOPS (for "pio" values > 5 && < 255).

The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180.
If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the
first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE
emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used.
The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy
driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.

When cleaning up HIDP sessions, we currently close the ACL connection
before deregistering the input device. Closing the ACL connection
schedules a workqueue to remove the associated objects from sysfs, but
the input device still refers to them -- and if the workqueue happens to
run before the input device removal, the kernel will oops when trying to
look up PHYSDEVPATH for the removed input device.
Fix this by deregistering the input device before closing the
connections.
