Subject[patch] signal-latency-2.5.69-B0

the attached patch, against BK-curr, further optimizes the 'kick wakeup'
scheduler feature:

- do not kick any CPU on UP

- no need to mark the target task for reschedule - it's enough to send an
interrupt to that CPU, that will initiate a signal processing pass.

tested on x86 SMP and UP.
