[PATCH] scheduler patch, faster still

Hi Richard, Larry,

Here is a second version of my scheduler patch. It
should improve RT latency a little bit and remove
overhead with programs waiting very shortly on things
like IPC or buffer cache locks...

I don't know whether I should have bothered with the
RT piece; a second 'runqueue' for RT processes (not
a full-blown queue, but one with almost the same
structure as the bottom_half queues) would be better
still... (avoiding the add_to_runqueue altogether
and replacing it with something more appropriate)

Rik.
