the Linux scheduler is starving a number of workloads. So default
to more agressive idle-balancing. This hurts lmbench context-switching
numbers (which was the main reason we sucked at idle-balancing for
such a long time) but the lmbench numbers are fine once the system is
minimally utilized.

do not set softirqs to nice +19. _If_ for whatever reason
we missed to process some high-prio softirq and woke up
ksoftirqd, we should give it a fair chance to actually
get some work done, even if the system is under load.

Also allow sched_clock() to be used when the TSC is unstable,

apply the CFS core code.
this change switches over the scheduler core to CFS's modular
design and makes use of kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c to implement
Linux's scheduling policies.
thanks to Andrew Morton and Thomas Gleixner for lots of detailed review
feedback and for fixlets.

remove the sleep-bonus interactivity code from the core scheduler.
scheduling policy is implemented in the policy modules, and CFS does
not need such type of heuristics.

remove the expired_starving() heuristics from the core scheduler.
CFS does not need it, and this did not really work well in practice
anyway, due to the rq->nr_running multiplier to STARVATION_LIMIT.

add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread
scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS),
for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases
can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
