2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Mike Galbraith <efault(a)gmx.de>

commit 14800984706bf6936bbec5187f736e928be5c218 upstream.

Tune SD_MC_INIT the same way as SD_CPU_INIT:
unset SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE, and set SD_WAKE_BALANCE.

This improves vmark by 5%:
