Sorry.  I misunderstood this message when I first read it.  I didn't
realize this message include a new version of the patch.
Anyhow, I just tried to apply the patch to 2.6.35-rc2-git3 and got this:

Weird.. it seems to apply without trouble to Linus' git tree.

Oh.  Duh. I know what is going on.  I had received another patch to
sched.c.  They must conflict.  I will test with just your patch now.
