    [POWERPC] spufs: runqueue simplification · 079cdb61
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    This is the biggest patch in this series, and it reworks the guts of
    the spu scheduler runqueue mechanism:
    
     - instead of embedding a waitqueue in the runqueue there is now a
       simple doubly-linked list, the actual wakeups happen by reusing
       the stop_wq in the spu context (maybe we should rename it one day)
     - spu_free and spu_prio_wakeup are merged into a single spu_reschedule
       function
     - various functionality is split out into small helpers, and kerneldoc
       comments are added in various places to document what's going on.
     - spu_activate is rewritten into a tight loop by removing test for
       various impossible conditions and using the infrastructure in this
       patch.
