* 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (29 commits)
sched: Export account_system_vtime()
sched: Call tick_check_idle before __irq_enter
sched: Remove irq time from available CPU power
sched: Do not account irq time to current task
x86: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
sched: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, finer accounting of irq time
sched: Add a PF flag for ksoftirqd identification
sched: Consolidate account_system_vtime extern declaration
sched: Fix softirq time accounting
sched: Drop group_capacity to 1 only if local group has extra capacity
sched: Force balancing on newidle balance if local group has capacity
sched: Set group_imb only a task can be pulled from the busiest cpu
sched: Do not consider SCHED_IDLE tasks to be cache hot
sched: Drop all load weight manipulation for RT tasks
sched: Create special class for stop/migrate work
sched: Unindent labels
sched: Comment updates: fix default latency and granularity numbers
tracing/sched: Add sched_pi_setprio tracepoint
sched: Give CPU bound RT tasks preference
sched: Try not to migrate higher priority RT tasks
