Subject[PATCH] sched: add a tuning knob to allow changing RR tmeslice
Subject: [PATCH] sched: add a tuning knob to allow changing RR timeslice

User wanted a facility simliar to the ability on Solaris to adjust
the SCHED_RR timeslice value. Add a /proc/sys/kernel scheduler knob
named sched_rr_timeslice_ms which allows global changing of the SCHED_RR
timeslice value. User visable value is in milliseconds but is stored as
jiffies. Setting to 0 (zero) resets to the default (currently 100ms).

Patch against tip/master, currently 3.7-rc3.
