of course, I'm asking why not cli/sti, see my current status of
incrmental fixes on top of the o1 scheduler, some old in -aa, some from
-ac (I dropped an optimization from you, I assume it's ok but quite
frankly I don't care about the performance of setting the cpu affinity
and I preferred to stay safe in sync with -ac and 2.5), some new noticed
while mering (and still uncertain about the questions). also the
force_cpu_reschedule from the 2.5 rcu-poll was buggy and that's fixed
too now in my tree.
beware I cannot test anything yet, the tree still doesn't compile, it seems
the last thing to make uml link is to update the init_task, then I will
also need to do the same for x86-64 at least, and possibly other archs
if Robert didn't took care of them. after x86-64 and uml works I will
check sparc64 alpha and finally x86 smp + up.

see the above serie of patches, again it may be broken, still untested yet.

I actually removed it enterely, need_resched will be fore sure read
before overwriting it because it's guaranteed by reading and writing to
the same mem address.
still I wonder if the other cpu will see the need_resched set when it
goes to read it, I can imagine a needed wmb() on the writer cpu and an rmb() in
the reader, hopefully it serializes via the spinlocks, I didn't touch
this area, but if the wmb() was meant to be after need_resced = 1, that
had to be one line below, so still it would be a bug, the wmb() in such
place looks superflous so I dropped it until somebody comments.

your version looks ok at first glance.
