I am explicitly refraining from sending Alan any code that is not well-tested in 2.5 and my machines first. As Ingo's new switch_mm() bits are not even in 2.5 yet, I plan to wait a bit before sending them... (I am currently putting together all the scheduler bits we have been working on for a 2.4-ac patch...)
If you like, Alan can hold off on this and take it when the appropriate patches are in.
