    Patchset update:

    http://kernel.kolivas.org

    These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with
    specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable/configurable to any
    workload. Read details and FAQ on my web page or feel free to email my
    mailing list with queries.

    This version is a recommended performance and bugfix update for those
    already running ck5. It does not include any of the newer latency hacks
    etc in 2.6.8-rc* as this version (2.6.7-ck6) is to retain the stability
    already present in -ck5.

    -cfq1.fix
    -cfq2.fix
    -cfq3.fix
    -crq-fixes.diff
    cfq io scheduler bugfixes
    -hard_swappiness.diff
    Make swappiness simpler and a hard limit

    Updated:
    -from_2.6.7_to_staircase7.E
    Cpu scheduler policy rewrite updated with micro-optimisations and one
    bugfix which ensures new tasks wake up in the "foreground".
    -schedbatch2.4.diff
    Idle scheduling now supports cpu distribution between batch tasks
    according to nice and is safe with I/O and held semaphores.
    -schediso2.4.diff
    resync

    Deleted:
    -autoswap.diff
