This is the first part of the minimal NUMA scheduler built on top of the O(1) load balancer. It is rediffed for 2.5.52 and contains a small bugfix in build_node_data(). The two patches are: 01-numa-sched-core-2.5.52-23.patch: core NUMA scheduler infrastructure providing a node aware load_balancer. 02-numa-sched-ilb-2.5.52-21.patch: initial load balancing, selects least loaded node & CPU at exec().
