Andrew, sorry about this last minute fallout: I felt that
sched/numa was still not fully cooked and did not want to hold
up the rest of the scheduler tree on that - nor did I want to
send an uncooked tree to Linus.

PeterZ posted another series of sched/numa patches two days ago
- once that is ready (probably after the merge window) it will
all reappear again, in a slightly different form. I could stick
the mm/ bits into a separate tree to make it easier for you.

Cross-discipline patches are hard - the other option would be to
let Linux NUMA scheduling continue to suck.

Thanks,

Ingo
