Ingo,

Great to see the older kernels updated, thanks for the patches.
I've got a bit of a modified 2.6.21.7, but when I built with
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y, I need the following change
to make things right (On a quick glance, my change matches the
2.6.23-rc3 code). Then again, I may just be doing something
stupid.

My apologies in advance if gmail decides to mangle the patch.
