    Still todo.

    I pushed out an updated version to:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/linux-2.6-sched.git sched_domain

    we're now at:

    include/linux/sched.h | 26 +-
    include/linux/topology.h | 25 -
    kernel/cpuset.c | 2 +-
    kernel/sched.c | 1094 ++++++++++++++++------------------------------
