thanks, that looks a lot more clean already. May i ask for another 
thing, if you are hacking on this anyway? Please get rid of the 
lock_doms_cur() complication now that it's not conditional - an open 
coded mutex_lock(&sched_doms_mutex) looks more readable - it gives a 
clear idea about what's happening. Also, please rename sched_doms_mutex 
to something less tongue-twisting - such as sched_domains_mutex. Hm?
