Merge 'Linux v3.0' into Litmus
Some notes:
* Litmus^RT scheduling class is the topmost scheduling class
(above stop_sched_class).
* scheduler_ipi() function (e.g., in smp_reschedule_interrupt())
may increase IPI latencies.
* Added path into schedule() to quickly re-evaluate scheduling
decision without becoming preemptive again. This used to be
a standard path before the removal of BKL.
