[BUG] No PS/2 mouse in 2.6.16 - bisect result

From: Bodo Eggert

As decribed in the thread
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=5V6m7-81J-11@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ,
my mouse does not work in 2.6.16.

Copying the drivers/input/mouse directory from 2.6.15 helped, but
bisecting gave the below result. Reverting this patch did help,
so it must be some kind of conflict with an input patch, but I can't find
a way to make git tell me all commits between foo and bar affecting baz.
I don't intend to do it manually.

Add early-boot-safety check to cond_resched()

Just to be safe, we should not trigger a conditional reschedule during
the early boot sequence. We've historically done some questionable
early on, and the safety warnings in __might_sleep() are generally
turned off during that period, so there might be problems lurking.

This affects CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, which takes over might_sleep()
to
cause a voluntary conditional reschedule.
