Patch makes available to the user the following
task and process performance statistics:
	* Involuntary Context Switches (task_struct->nivcsw)
	* Voluntary Context Switches (task_struct->nvcsw)
	* Number of system calls (added new counter
	  thread_info->sysall_count)
	           
Statistics information is available from:
        1. taskstats interface (Documentation/accounting/)
	2. /proc/PID/status (task only).

This data is useful for detecting hyperactivity
patterns between processes.

This should be sent to the linux-kernel list I think...  Or at least
CCd.
