[PATCH] default to n for GROUP_SCHED and FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
From: Parag Warudkar
Date: Sat May 03 2008 - 20:42:45 EST
GROUP_SCHED is confirmed to cause unacceptable latencies -
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/2/370.
Besides there is no reason for it to be on by default.
Mark it EXPERIMENTAL and default to no.
Patch also attached.
