Dear List,

My previous mails to you have gone unheard... my last chance...

In context_switch() (in linux/kernel/sched.c), starting with release 2.6.33,
two "unlikely" macro have been changed to "likely". I think the previous
logic was right while the latter is wrong.

In case I am missing something I, please, ask someone to explain the above
mentioned inversion of logic through releases.

Thanks in advance.

fabio
