The idle_balance() function is called within a #ifdef CONFIG_SMP section.

Remove its declaration in sched.h for !CONFIG_SMP because it is pointless.

Yes, it sounds ok.

Why is idle_enter_fair() called unconditionally in idle_balance() ?
Isn't the call in pick_next_task_idle enough ?  Shouldn't be called when 
we will go to idle effectively ?

If I am not wrong idle_enter_fair() is called from idle_balance() but a 
task may be pulled, so we the next task won't be the idle task and 
idle_exit_fair won't be called at put_prev_task.

May be I missed this change which was done at purpose in the previous 
patchset you sent...
