Hi (again) Martin,

Patches are required to have a credit/blame line these days ala...

Signed-off-by: Martin Andersson <martin.andersson@control.lth.se>

...and should be sent with a cc to the subsystem maintainer In this
case, Ingo Molnar. Things tend to go into mainline through Andrew
Morton after being acked, so I've taken the liberty of adding him as
well.

Wrt the fix itself, rather than scrunch to fit 80 columns, I'd just...

#define DELTA(p) \
(SCALE(TASK_NICE(p) + 20, 40, MAX_BONUS) - 20 * MAX_BONUS / 40 + \
INTERACTIVE_DELTA)

...wrap at the nearest readable spot.

(hmm. just re-packaging the thing would have wasted fewer electrons;)
