    - Added the POSIX message queue implementation. We're still stitching
      together a decent description of all of this. Reference information is at

            http://www.mat.uni.torun.pl/~wrona/posix_ipc/
     and
            http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/mqueue.h.html

    - A fair amount of work against the page reclaim code. Mainly
      reorganisation and simplification of various little glitches. This means
      that a few of the optimisations which were in 2.6.3-mm4 were broken and
      were dropped. But this is a better basis upon which to reintroduce them.

      Performance, however, seems similar to 2.6.3-mm4 in a few tests.
      Inter-zone balancing is much better than 2.6.3 but still could be improved a
      little.

      Slab reclaim balancing is improved, however with some (artificial)
      workloads slab is still being a problem because of tremendous internal
      fragmentation problems: 6% occupancy of the pages which are allocated to
      dcache, for example. More work is needed to account for this.

      I tested the swapout code with 7.2G of tmpfs pagecache on a 7G machine.
      The rotate_reclaimable_page() logic seems to work fine here - only 200M of
      memory was added to swapcache and was swapped out.

    - Plus the usual various little fixes and cleanups.

    - The contents of the broken-out/ directory are now available in the
      2.6.4-rc1-mm1-broken-out.tar.gz file. This includes the `series' file
      which describes the patching order.

      People who are using patch-scripts can recreate the patching machinery by
      doing:

            cd /usr/src/linux
            tar xfz ~/2.6.4-rc1-mm1-broken-out.tar.gz
            mv broken-out/*.patch patches
            mv broken-out/series .
            for i in $(cat-series series)
            do
                    pcpatch $i
            done
            rmdir broken-out

    Changes since 2.6.3-mm4:

     linus.patch
     bk-acpi.patch
     bk-alsa.patch
     bk-arm.patch
     bk-driver-core.patch
     bk-ieee1394.patch
     bk-netdev.patch
     bk-scsi.patch
     bk-usb.patch

     Latest versions of various external trees. bk-i2c.patch was dropped
     pending it getting its lmsensors act together. And bk-input was dropped
     because it was old and nobody will tell me the input project's bk URL.
