We know that sched-2.6.0-test2-mm2-A3.patch caused the regression, and
we now that sched-CAN_MIGRATE_TASK-fix.patch mostly fixed it up.

What we don't know is whether the thing which sched-CAN_MIGRATE_TASK-fix.patch
fixed was the thing which sched-2.6.0-test2-mm2-A3.patch broke.



I think Robert was just talking about general improvements or regressions,
etc. I don't think Con is going too badly though - the small amount of
feedback I read about it is normally positive.

I think we might as well use -linus tree for testing while its still in
the test release phase. It probably gets a few orders of magnitude more
testing than mm.
