[PATCH] [91/275] sched: Give CPU bound RT tasks preference

[Andi Kleen]

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From:: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Commit: b3bc211cfe7d5fe94b310480d78e00bea96fbf2a upstream

If a high priority task is waking up on a CPU that is running a
lower priority task that is bound to a CPU, see if we can move the
high RT task to another CPU first. Note, if all other CPUs are
running higher priority tasks than the CPU bounded current task,
then it will be preempted regardless.
