Patch against 2.6.0-test6. Adds a few needed memory barriers before schedule_timeout, kills setting current task to TASK_RUNNING after schedule_timeout and uses the __set_current_state functions instead of current->state = TASK_RUNNING.
I don't have the hardware, so I couldn't test it. But it looks right :)
Please review and consider applying if it is ok.
Thanks,
