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 ++++++++++++++++------------------------------
kernel/sched_fair.c | 32 +-
