Merge branch 'sched-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'sched-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: sched: Fix kthread_bind() by moving the body of kthread_bind() to sched.c sched: Disable SD_PREFER_LOCAL at node level sched: Fix boot crash by zalloc()ing most of the cpu masks sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latencies
