Since it has exactly the same function as the SCHED_IDLE patch,
it qualifies as 'has something to do with', at least when it
comes to my book...

I like the nice +20 hack however, so I will probably create a
scheduler 'grand patch' later this week. You can also look
forward to an integration of both Andrea's and my patches to
handle OOM and improved documentation on Linux performance
tuning. I will publish the stuff on my website, but will
announce it here as well.
