    These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness. It is
    configurable to any workload but the default ck* patch is aimed at the
    desktop and ck*-server is available with more emphasis on serverspace.

    all patches:
    http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/
    Split patches and a server specific patch available.

    Added since 2.6.10-ck7:
    +cfq-ts-21.diff
    The latest version of Jens' cfq-timeslice i/o scheduler now heavily tested and
    with full read i/o priority support

    +isobatch_ionice2.diff
    Support for i/o priorities suitable for SCHED_ISO and SCHED_BATCH tasks

    +rt_ionice.diff
    Support for i/o priority suitable for real time tasks

    Changed:
    +schediso2.11.diff
    The development of the 3.x series of Isochronous scheduling support did not
    reach full maturity and its features were no longer deemed desirable. This
    has a minor bugfix for the 2.10 version included previously instead.

    +mapped_watermark3.diff
    Finally I have tweaked the mapped watermark patch which makes for memory
    scanning to be progressively more aggressive the more stress/fragmentation it
    is under, to swap far less under all sorts of load (especially i/o load), yet
    not risk out-of-memory kills.

    Rolled up:
    ~2.6.10_to_staircase9.2.diff
    ~schedbatch2.6.diff
    ~schediso2.8.diff
    ~mwII.diff

    ~s10.2_s10.3.diff
