looks good to me - but could you please do the patch against the latest
scheduler tree, which has already updated this file (and which made your
patch not apply cleanly):

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

also:

> --- sched-design-CFS.txt-2.6.27-rc7 2008-07-13 23:51:29.000000000 +0200
> +++ sched-design-CFS.txt 2008-09-23 10:33:01.107393509 +0200

please use -p1 to create patches - or since you've just set up the
tip/master tracking, do something like:

<modify Documentation/scheduler/sched-design-CFS.txt>

git-commit Documentation/scheduler/sched-design-CFS.txt

<add commit log>

and then export the commit you just created for use in emailing, via:

git log --pretty=email --stat -1 -p > mail.txt
