Arnd Bergmann 2a911f0bb7 [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability [part 2].
This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly
for involuntary preemptive switches.  As a result the new code
does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs.

Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue
to perform involuntary saves.  In this way we avoid nasty lock
ordering problems that the previous code had.  A "minimum timeslice"
for SPU contexts is also introduced.  The intent here is to avoid
thrashing.

While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it
still does nothing for fairness.
