Hi Viresh and Thomas,

Apologies if my wording was confusing. Without getting into a grammar
war, I did say that these patches were "in response" to this thread
(entirely accurate) and only necessary for the "on-going work" I'm doing
with the scheduler. Sorry if any of that came across as me stating that
these patches were necessary to solve Thomas' problem.

Whether you merge the patches now or later is fine by me. I prefer to
get my patches out early and often so I can avoid any surprises later
on. If you have a fundamental objection to these patches then please let
me know. Otherwise it would be wonderful to have an Ack.

Thanks!
Mike
