I am not sure if there is any interest in this, but here is an update
of my previous patch for 2.5.45. This version is less intrusive --
it doesn't touch calc_load() or count_active_tasks(). (I figure
that since nr_running()/nr_uninterruptible() are now O(NR_CPUS),
calling them one extra time per second is no big deal.)
The patch adds two counters in /proc/stat, runque and runocc, similar
to those in traditional UNIX systems (usually reported by sar -q),
that track the system run queue occupancy.
Every second, 'runque' is incremented by the run queue size, and
'runocc' is incremented by one if the run queue is not empty.
