Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Continued quest to clean up and enhance the cputime code by Frederic
Weisbecker, in preparation for future tickless kernel features.
Other than that, smallish changes."
Fix up trivial conflicts due to additions next to each other in arch/{x86/}Kconfig
