[Xen-devel] [PATCH 09/12] sched: add notifier for cross-cpu migrations

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a notifier to publish when a task gets migrated from one cpu to
another.  The first intended use is to export a "migration counter"
to usermode so that a task can tell whether its still running on the
same cpu (for use in vgetcpu and other vsyscall code).
