Changes

Added:
+sched-staircase13.3_13.4.patch
Staircase tweaks. Disable use of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag. It is not needed
with staircase and just slows down things waiting on pipes.

+fix-scsi_cmd_cache_leak.patch
Fix the scsi_cmd_cache slab leak


Modified:
-mm-kswapd_inherit_prio.patch
+mm-kswapd_inherit_prio-1.patch
A dud patch merge caused lousy performance once memory was full. This restores
the patch to its proper state.
