Subject: [PATCH] sched: add a tuning knob to allow changing RR timeslice

User wanted a facility simliar to the ability on Solaris to adjust
the SCHED_RR timeslice value. Add a /proc/sys/kernel scheduler knob
named sched_rr_timeslice_ms which allows global changing of the SCHED_RR
timeslice value. User visable value is in milliseconds but is stored as
jiffies.  Setting to 0 (zero) resets to the default (currently 100ms).

Patch against tip/master, currently 3.7-rc3.

Hmm, has this been ignored?

I guess the real question, is it still needed (or wanted)?

Yes, we've got a couple of customers that have been asking for it.
