If you could help that would be great. You needn't do anything other than test. The patch sort of enables run cloned thread last which allows us to remove balance on clone, which is important. For me.

The patch I just sent (which is on top of -mm6) should hopefully work... if you feel like testing a solution that may still get vetoed by Ingo.
Also, what compile errors are you getting? i386 seems to compile kernel/ fine with only the first sched- patch applied.
