Changes since -v7:

As usual, any sort of feedback, bugreport, fix and suggestion is more

Hi, Ingo,
I would like to report, what I think is a regression with -v8.
With -v7 I would run the n/n+1 test. Basically on a system with
n cpus, I would run n+1 tasks and see how their load is distributed.
I usually find that the last two tasks would get stuck on one CPU
on the system and would get half the cpu time as their other peers.
I think this issue has been around for long even before CFS. But
while I was investigating that, I found that with -v8, all the n+1 tasks are
stuck on the same cpu.
