Performance of Ingo's O(1) scheduler on 8 way NUMA-Q

[Martin J. Bligh]

Measuring the performace of a parallelized kernel compile with warm caches
on a 8 way NUMA-Q box. Highmem support is turned OFF so I'm only using
the first 1Gb or so of RAM (it's much faster without HIGHMEM).

prepare:
make -j16 dep; make -j16 bzImage; make mrproper; make -j16 dep; 

measured:
time make -j16 bzImage

2.4.18-pre7

2.4.18-pre7 with J6 scheduler

Seems to give a significant improvement, not only giving a shorter 
elapsed time, but also lower CPU load.
