    Subject2.6.0-test10-mjb1
    The patchset contains mainly performance, scalability and NUMA stuff, 
    and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be
    pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff.

    I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any
    platform, however large or small.

    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/2.6.0-test10/patch-2.6.0-test10-mjb1.bz2

    Since 2.6.0-test9-mjb3 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped)

    Notes: Mostly a merge forwards.

    config_numasched
    4/4 split
