PATCH 1/1 nicksched for 2.6.11

I've had a few queries about this, so by "popular" demand, I've put my latest nicksched stuff here:

www.kerneltrap.org/~npiggin/2.6.11-nicksched.gz

It includes all the multiprocessor stuff that's in -mm, and also my alternate scheduler policy.

Hi,

just to make sure, is it still advised to renice X when using your scheduler?

Yes it is. I have a hack in there that automatically renices any binary starting with 'XF' to -10 for people who forget. So this includes XFree86, though maybe it doesn't get the x.org server?

X.org's X server binary is called "Xorg", though sometimes it's called "X" (a symbolic link to Xorg).
