    With this patch, my Powermac (ppc32) spews 711 (I think)
warning messages during bootup.  The first one looks like:

Calibrating delay loop... 1064.96 BogoMIPS
Mount-cache hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
Badness in schedule at kernel/sched.c:2153

 [000035fc] 0x35fc

and this goes on until:

Badness in schedule at kernel/sched.c:2153

    The full dmesg is 322K, and is up at:
http://www.rivenstone.net/linux/samarkand.dmesg

    Most of the traces look something like the bottom one.
