Hi Ingo,

The following repositories

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ghaskins/linux-2.6-hacks.git tip/sched/devel/rtbalance 

     ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/tip-rt-fixes.tar.bz2

apply to tip/sched/devel to pick up fixes for the RT scheduler. 

[
	Changelog:
	
	v2: 
	    *) predicated newidle and double_lock changes on
	       CONFIG_PREEMPT to address a concern by Nick Piggin

	    *) fixed a build issue when DEBUG_PI_LIST is defined 

	v1:
	    *) initial release
]

These patches were developed in the interest of shorting latencies in
PREEMPT_RT, but they apply to the mainline scheduler as well, so I am
offering them here first.

This has been tested under both 26.3-rt3 and tip/sched/devel on x86_64 for
both CONFIG_SMP and !CONFIG_SMP.

Comments/bug-fixes welcome!

Regards,
-Greg
