[patch] preempt-lock-need-resched.patch, 2.6.9-rc2

[Ingo Molnar]

the attached preempt-lock-need-resched.patch is ontop of the preempt-smp
and preempt-cleanups patches. It adds lock_need_resched() which is to
check for the necessity of lock-break in a critical section. Used by
later latency-break patches.

tested on x86, should work on all architectures.
