SubjectRe: [patch 0/4] powerpc 2.6.21-rt1: reduce scheduling latency by changing tlb flush size
To reduce scheduling latecy by changing tlb flush size to 1.
Since tlb flush on Celleb is done by calling (an) expensive hypervisor call(s), 
it takes a long time to flush tlbs and causes scheduing latency.

As I don't know how long it takes on other platforms, it would be better to 
enclose it within #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_CELLEB.
