Nick Piggin beed33a816 [PATCH] sched: likely profiling
This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems
in sched.c.

This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago,
nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so
it all adds up.

Tweak some branch hints:

- the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it
  contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities.
  (ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1).

- it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it
  might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of
  475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide.

- preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable
  or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1)
