Sure, but this patch probably will not work under 2.1.67 because
resched_needed() don' t exists there:

arca:/root/linux$ grep SUBLEVEL Makefile | head -1
SUBLEVEL = 67
arca:/root/linux$ find -name \*.[ch] | xargs grep resched_needed
../arch/sparc/kernel/process.c: if(!smp_commenced ||
resched_needed())
../arch/sparc/ap1000/aplib.c: if (resched_needed())
../arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c: if (wait_available &&
!resched_needed())
../arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c: if ( resched_needed() )
../arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c: if ( resched_needed() )
../arch/m68k/kernel/process.c: if (!resched_needed())
../arch/sparc64/kernel/process.c: if(resched_needed())

Why haven' t changed AUTO with LP_AUTO and so on...
