Actually, this patch is already in Natty, e.g., "sched: automated per 
session task groups V4". I'm keeping an eye on the evolution of this 
patch, which I expect will eventually land in 2.6.38 in some form.

I'd consider a backport to 2.6.32 Lucid since I think it would have real 
benefit for some workloads, but someone with more time then I will have 
to attempt it.
