Please resend it. That area of the code is a bit of an #ifdef maze, 
hard to move around. (And i'd rather let you mess it up than mess it 
up myself - then i can blame it on you and bounce it back to you for 
fixing ;-)

Also, a style cleanup there might help a bit: adding a bit more 
geometric structure to the #ifdefs there might make the hierarchy 
stand out a bit more:

# ifdef CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED
static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct sched_rt_entity, init_sched_rt_entity);
static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct rt_rq, init_rt_rq) ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
# endif /* CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED */
#else /* !CONFIG_USER_SCHED */
# define root_task_group init_task_group
#endif /* CONFIG_USER_SCHED */

in such a lineup it's more apparent at a glance when a piece of code 
gets snatched in an incomplete way.

Thanks,

	Ingo
