  sched: minor optimizations in wake_affine and select_task_rq_fair
  sched: maintain only task entities in cfs_rq->tasks list
  sched: fixup buddy selection
  sched: more sanity checks on the bandwidth settings
  sched: add some comments to the bandwidth code
  sched: fixlet for group load balance
  sched: rework wakeup preemption
  CFS scheduler: documentation about scheduling policies
  sched: clarify ifdef tangle
  sched: fix list traversal to use _rcu variant
  sched: turn off WAKEUP_OVERLAP
  sched: wakeup preempt when small overlap
  kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
  kernel/cpu.c: Move the CPU_DYING notifiers
  sched: fix __load_balance_iterator() for cfq with only one task
