Use mutex instead of semaphore in fs/isofs/compress.c, and remove a

It means a major rewrite of the plugsched interface and I'm not sure
that it's worth it (if CFS works well). However, note

I did get the current 'pre' set of 2.4.35 (circa early
June) patches and applied to 2.4.34.5. After fixing a goto
mislable in one of the patches (dont remember if it was one of
the patch-2.4.34.? or patch-2.4.35.pre5), managed to build a
vmlinuz-2.4.35 successfully.
Just wondered whether to expec

Oooh! That's nice! I didn't notice the "nicely split up" part earlier.

I discussed this with Thomas Gleixner last night and he
seemed to be OK with fixing the problem as follows.
If he wants to do things differently, he can submit an alternate
change, but this thing is quite trivial so I doubt that will happen
:-)
Please apply, thanks.

nr_moved is not the correct check for triggering all pinned logic. Fix the
all pinned logic in the case of load_balance_newidle().

In the presence of SMT, newly idle balance was never happening for multi-core
and SMP domains(even when both the logical siblings are idle).
If thread 0 is already idle and when thread 1 is about to go to idle, newly
idle load balance always think that one of the threads is not idle and skips

I just compiled 2.6.22.1 on my Kubuntu 7.0.4 system.
As before, I get errors using my Seagate SATA drives, and setting adma=0

before.
However, I would like to note that it happens far less often with 2.6.22.1
