This allows for faster debugging of scheduler problems.

sched_fork()/sched_exit() does not need to specify fastcall anymore,
as the x86 kernel defaults to regparm3, and no assembly code calls
these functions.

track TSC-unstable events and propagate it to the scheduler code.
Also allow sched_clock() to be used when the TSC is unstable,
the rq_clock() wrapper creates a reliable clock out of it.

apply the CFS core code.
this change switches over the scheduler core to CFS's modular
design and makes use of kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c to implement
Linux's scheduling policies.
thanks to Andrew Morton and Thomas Gleixner for lots of detailed review
feedback and for fixlets.

remove the expired_starving() heuristics from the core scheduler.
CFS does not need it, and this did not really work well in practice
anyway, due to the rq->nr_running multiplier to STARVATION_LIMIT.

add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread
scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS),
for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases
can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

enum idle_type (used by the load-balancer) clashes with the
SCHED_IDLE name that we want to introduce. 'CPU_IDLE' instead
of 'SCHED_IDLE' is more descriptive as well.

There are some devices (for example Dell Multimedia Keyboard SK-8135) that have
a volume control knob which generates relative events instead of absolute.
hid-input maps them to ABS_VOLUME. HUT pages don't restrict volume to absolute
values.
Adding REL_VOLUME doesn't seem feasible, nothing knows how to handle it. This
patch translates relative ABS_VOLUME events into appropriate number of series
of VOLUME_UP or VOLUME_DOWN events respectively, so that userspace sees the
correct values in the end.

This keyboard has wireless mouse which has left, middle, right buttons and
2-dimensional scrolling wheel. Unfornetuly, this wheel reports side scrolling
events and 11 or 12 button events at the same time.
I've wrote a patch to fix this mapping. I'm not sure if this mapping is proper
for buttons, because , for example, there is no entry for "burn cd" in input.h.
The patch also supress 11 and 12 button events from mouse when you scroll the
wheel left and right. With this patch, only side scrolling events are
reported. (This mouse has only 4 buttons and 2D wheel. There is no such
buttons like 11 and 12.)

When setting the autocentering of PID devices, PID_DIRECTION_ENABLE is not
being explicitely set to 1. This results in autocentering working only on the
vertical axis when this field is preset to 0.
Fix that by setting it explicitely to 1 when preparing the set_effect report
for autocentering spring effect.

Lately there have been quite a lot of bug reports against broken devices
which require us to fix their report descriptor in the runtime, before it
is passed to the HID parser. Those devices have eaten quite an amount of
our quirks space, which isn't particularly necessary - the quirks are not
needed after the report descriptor is parsed, and they just consume bits.
Therefore this patch separates the quirks for report descriptor fixup, and
moves their handling into separate code. The quirks are then forgotten as
soon as the report descriptor has been parsed.
Module parameter 'rdesc_quirks' is introduced to be able to modify these
quirks in runtime in a similar way to 'quirks' parameter for ordinary HID
quirks.

Devices manufactured by NCR have userspace hiddev-based drivers,
which do all the necessary device querying by themselves. The devices
must not be queried directly by the generic HID driver, as reported by
NCR engineers.

Petalynx Maxter remote control [1] 0x18b1/0x0037 emits 0xfa and 0xfc from
consumer page (reserved in HUT 1.12) for back and more keys. It also emits
a few usages from LOGIVENDOR page, which need adding.
Also, this device has broken report descriptor - the reported maximum is too
low - it doesn't contain the range for 'back' and 'more' keys, so we need to
bump it up before the report descriptor is being parsed.
Besides all this, it also requires NOGET quirk.
This patch does so.
