Scrap the local __INLINE__ macro, and rename timeval_cmp to fasttime_cmp.
Inline macro was completely unnecessary since the macro was defined
locally to be inline.
timeval_cmp was inaccurately named since it does comparison on
struct fasttimer_t and not on struct timeval.

I do try.
I also happen to have a series of patches to MAINTAINERS
and a scripts/get_maintainer.pl that do exactly that.
Maybe a future version might use it.

It's not a lot of memory; it's one directory and a couple of files for
each PCI slot in the system.
FWIW, I see the same problem with another HP notebook, DV4378EA with
radeon X700 video card. It does not happen frequently but I can say
that since I disabled the tickless feature I can't reproduce the
problem anymore.

for -stable it's safer to have smaller patches - so this patch is
perfectly fine. A user can turn it back on under SCHED_DEBUG and by
tweaking a debug flag - but that's not a big issue,

New guy to this list. Long time lurker on CKRM - decided to test the
control groups patches.
Pulled 2.6.24.rc4 patch and migrated my (working) 2.6.23-rc4 config.
