    Subject2.5.59-mjb7 (scalability / NUMA patchset)
    The patchset contains mainly 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/2.5.59/patch-2.5.59-mjb
    7.bz2
