I'm submitting two patches associated with moving cache_reap
functionality out of timer context.  Note that these patches do not
make any further optimizations to cache_reap at this time.

The first patch adds a function similiar to schedule_delayed_work to
allow work to be scheduled on another cpu.

The second patch makes use of schedule_delayed_work_on to schedule
cache_reap to run from keventd.

These patches apply to 2.6.8-rc1.

looks good to me and i agree with moving this unbound execution-time
function out of irq context. I suspect this should see some -mm testing
first/too?
