nice! I hope CFSv4 kept that good tradition too ;)

i tested heavily swapping systems. (make -j50 workloads easily trigger
that) I also tested UP systems and a handful of SMP systems. I have also
tested massive_intr.c which i believe is an indicator of how fairly CPU
time is distributed between partly sleeping partly running server
threads. But i very much agree that diverse feedback is sought and
welcome, both from those who are happy with the current scheduler and
those who are unhappy about it.
