I have attached it (against 2.6.5-mm1). I haven't actually tested it
yet because I haven't got around to finding and using the i386 test
code yet.

It also contains a copule of cleanups:
rename double_lock_balance to second_rq_lock, and make migrate_all_tasks
static, and have the hotplug code call sched_cpu_stop.

Comments would be welcome.
