It's up to the hordes of scheduler hackers really. If they want, and can agree upon a patch then go wild. It should be against -mm minus staircase, as there's a fair amount of scheduler stuff banked up for post-2.6.8. The patch exists for both -mm2 and -mm1, but I've been holding off posting it until I get a chance to do more than simply compile it. Our lab machines are back up now so I'll test a (-mm2 - staircase) patch this afternoon. Rick
